When cleaning trash receptacles, which statement is true?

When cleaning trash receptacles, the practice of spraying all-purpose cleaner solution into a towel before wiping is effective for several reasons. This method helps control the amount of cleaner used, preventing over-saturation and potential waste. It also minimizes the risk of the cleaner splashing back or creating a mess, ensuring a more controlled and thorough cleaning process. Additionally, using a towel allows for more direct application, ensuring that the cleaner stays on the surface being wiped, which is critical for effective sanitation and odor control.

In contrast, spraying cleaner directly onto the trash bin can lead to overspray, which may not only waste the cleaner but could also create slippery surfaces and potential hazards. Placing food trays directly into the receptacle can lead to cross-contamination and is not hygienic. Finally, removing the can without cleaning does not address the sanitation needs of the trash receptacle, allowing odor and bacteria to accumulate, thereby compromising the overall cleanliness of the area.
