If a plastic liner is not available for trash cans, how should they be maintained?

Regular washing of trash cans is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing unpleasant odors, especially in a cosmetology setting where cleanliness is paramount. Without a plastic liner, organic waste and products can accumulate and produce a breeding ground for bacteria and pests. Washing the cans daily ensures that any residues, spills, or contaminants are removed, maintaining a sanitary environment for both clients and staff. This practice also helps eliminate odors and ensures that the trash can is kept in a safe and presentable condition.

Other alternatives, such as airing out the can, may not effectively remove odors or bacteria, while covering with a cloth does not address the underlying issue of waste accumulation. Replacing the can entirely could be impractical and unnecessary when regular cleaning can suffice.
