Have you ever looked at the inside of your trash bins? We don’t recommend doing it. The odor and generally grimy appearance should be enough to convince you that your company’s trash bins aren’t clean. With this in mind, you should be wondering if professional commercial trash bin cleaning is necessary for your business. The short answer: yes.
Commercial trash cans may not be exposed to the same waste as the typical household, but they are still breeding grounds for germs, disease, and pests. For that reason, we highly recommend looking into trash bin cleaning.
4 Reasons to Hire a Commercial Trash Bin Cleaning Company
Most businesses will use an employee or cleaning crew to clean their trash bins, with the consensus being the soapy water is enough to wash away the dirt and grime. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of washing away the dirt and grime, this type of informal cleaning could be doing your business hygiene more harm than good, something you can avoid with a commercial pressure washing of your trash bins.
1. Maintain Cleanliness Standards
Whether your business is located in Downtown Grand Junction or on Main Street in Palisade, Colorado, cleanliness inspires confidence in your business and ensures you don’t wind up with a pest problem.
Like residential properties, you can’t be sure what your neighboring business’s standard of cleanliness is. You can only control your sanitary standards. For that reason, it would be a good idea to ensure that your trash bins are clean to ensure that if neighboring businesses start having issues with critters in their trash cans, your business won’t be affected.
2. Improve Your Reputation
Filth and grime can turn any customer away. But, for those in the food service, hospitality, and retail industry, cleanliness should be of utmost importance. If your trash bins are clean, a generally overlooked part of cleaning a business, customers will determine that your business maintains the highest standards of cleanliness. But, if your trash bins are dirty, they’ll surmise that every “hidden” aspect of your business is also filthy. They can then share these thoughts with others through reviews and social media, damaging your business’s reputation.
Don’t let that happen to your business. Ensure your trash bins are a sign of your commitment to cleanliness by sanitizing them with pressure washing.
3. Reduce Unnecessary Expenditure on Pest Control
It takes one incident, one smelly trash bin before all your bins attract rats and raccoons. Attaining a pest problem takes one incident; getting rid of them is a convoluted operation. Ridding your business of pests will be a costly feat because now, not only do you have to call in a professional trash bin cleaning company to conduct a thorough pressure washing, but you also have to call in pest control. Essentially, you’re spending twice as much as you would have had you simply included regular pressure washing in your budget.
4. Maintain Employee Health and Safety
Your trash bins are a hub of disease and illness. You can find Listeria, Salmonella, and several other pathogens on trash bins. Since businesses dispose of more trash than the average household, there’s more chance that these germs can fester. Even businesses that aren’t tossing food scraps, like restaurants and hotels, will still have these germs on their trash bins because of employees’ waste.
This means that employees and cleaning staff who interact with the dumpster or trash bin could be picking up these germs and either transferring them to colleagues or falling ill themselves. Regular cleaning ensures this won’t be the case.
