How often should inside trash containers be washed?

Inside trash containers should be washed every day to maintain hygiene and prevent the buildup of bacteria, odors, and pests. Frequent cleaning is a critical aspect of food safety and sanitation in a back-of-house environment, especially where food is prepared and served. Daily washing of these containers helps to ensure that any residues or spills are effectively removed, providing a cleaner working environment and helping to uphold IHOP's standards for cleanliness and customer safety. Regular cleaning also contributes to a more pleasant atmosphere for both employees and customers, which is vital in the foodservice industry.
