Taking out the trash is a dirty job.
But, cleaning a maggot-infested garbage can in the summer is the nastiest household chore imaginable.
You can try spraying it down with your garden hose. But, it doesn't work.

You shouldn't be sticking your head into a smelly garbage can and scrubbing it with a brush. In fact, you shouldn't even consider wasting a good scrub brush on this project.

Your garbage can will look brand new. But, more importantly, the funky smell will be gone too.
