Frequently Asked Questions
Ummmm… well, the short answer is that they usually smell nasty. Also, germs don’t discriminate – they are everywhere, and they think the sludge in dirty bins is the perfect place to make multiply. Our high- pressure 200° water and steam is the perfect eco-friendly weapon to scrub out the sludge, kill germs and help protect your home.
And if you have tried doing it yourself, you know it’s a disgusting job. And then the wastewater… do you
really want to dump that in your lawn or driveway?? Just let the pros handle it – trust us it’ll be WAY easier!! And it’s more affordable than you think.
Wait ‘til you see our state-of-the-art wash units! They use extremely hot high-pressure water to blast, steam clean, and sanitize the inside of your garbage bin until it is thoroughly SCRUBBED! Then we use a biodegradable odor neutralizer to make sure your bins stay fresh until the next service. No harsh chemicals at all for the cleaning process, and we collect and remove the wastewater to be processed in an environmentally safe way. Trash can cleaning doesn’t have to be hard, let us do the dirty work.
We like to think of Show-Me Hydro Cleaning as a utility – kind of like your trash service. You continue to make trash, trash smells awful, bacteria start growing in less than 12hrs, and bins will stay much cleaner and fresher with regular service. And not to worry… you can adjust the service interval, pause service, or stop at any time. But really, you might want to think twice about going back to those nasty bins…
We offer several different options to keep your bin clean year-round, and even a one-time cleaning for those that just want to try us out.
- Monthly (Every 4 Weeks)
- Quarterly (Every 12 Weeks)
- One Time Cleanings
We think that these plans give you the options that you desire, but you can always adjust your subscription as needed. Just contact us and we can work something out.

We make garbage bin cleaning easy. We Do The DIRTY Work!
We will schedule your bins to be serviced the SAME day that your garbage has been picked up. We know that sometimes the garbage collection companies like to surprise us and change up their routes/pick up times, so if we arrive and your trash has not been disposed of, we will reschedule your bin cleaning for the next day. Our trucks run until 7pm.
We’d ask kindly that you refrain from putting trash in your bins, but if you absolutely need to, please bag it so we can easily remove it to clean.
Nope. Our cleaning trucks only use hot water and high pressure to clean and sanitize. We use an environmentally friendly biodegradable odor neutralizer, and occasionally (often for first time can cleaning) we may also use a biodegradable degreaser to loosen things up. And all the wastewater from this process is collected on the truck and taken with us to be processed properly. The only thing left behind are clean, freshly sanitized bins!
Once you’ve signed up, and we have your payment info on file, we will schedule you as soon as possible and notify you of the first service date. Leading up to your cleaning visits, you will receive a text/email reminder the night before service to leave your bins outside for us.
Sure did. Any time one of your friends or neighbors signs up as a new subscription client, they will have a chance to enter your name as an existing client referral. Once the new client begins service and becomes a paying customer, you will get your next cleaning visit for FREE! And that includes ALL of your bins that are normally serviced. You will not be charged for the visit, and if you have paid in advance your credit will simply be carried forward.
And guess what… it’s UNLIMITED! That’s right, tell your friends! You might not have to pay for your bins to be scrubbed at all!
(One time cleanings are not eligible, for subscribers only)
Absolutely! As long as mother nature plays nicely, we will clean your bins year-round. The Winter season can be challenging, and we want to be upfront that our trucks will not operate properly in a polar vortex. If for some unforeseen reason we are not able to service your bins, we will make every attempt to reschedule your service. If we can’t get it done in a timely fashion, no need to worry, you are only charged after you have been serviced.
Take a look at our Winter Weather Info:
Safety is our priority, and we will take the necessary steps to protect our customers, our employees, and our equipment. At times that will include cancelling appointments due to inclement weather conditions. We will do our best to reschedule you ASAP, but sometimes that may not be possible, and you may have to wait until your next scheduled cleaning visit. At times we may not be able to clean the exterior of the bin due to excess water overspray. We will still clean the dirtiest part, the inside, and collect that wastewater on our truck. If your appointment must be cancelled or rescheduled, please remember that our company policy is that you will not be charged for a missed service due to inclimate weather or by fault of Show-Me Hydro Clean. In the event of a cancellation or reschedule due to weather, you will be notified via email. Thanks in advance for your understanding during the unpredictable winter season.
