[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you don't necessarily need bleach, but you do need a hose, and to do it in the morning or to leave it outside with the lid open on a sunny day for a day with nothing in it after you hose it off so the sun can kill the smell/germs.

it's a dirty job, need about 10-15 minutes in clothes you will tehn take off after you hose everything off.[/quote]

I was the one asking that people not put bleach in the cans and dump.  I agree with you as I periodically clean my cans.  I put the water pressure on the hose at it's highest level and spray and dump and spray and dump.  I then put on gloves and wipe it down with a rag and some dawn soap (just a bit).  Let it air dry and the smell goes away.[/quote]

I put dishwasher detergent and some pine sol or chlorox on the sides.  Get an old broom and put somwe water in it.  Use the broom to swish on the sides like a bottle brush.  Hose it and dump it.  Leave lid open in the sun.   I don't touch the insides.[/quote]
