Trash Chute Pressure Washing – Don’t Try This Yourself!

Trash chute pressure washing takes special procedures and equipment.

Trash Chute Before Pressure Washing

After a few years of dropping bags of food, kitty litter, diapers and whatever down the trash chute, they can get pretty smelly. No matter how they’re designed, some of the sticky trash residue adheres to the inside surface.

You can’t get inside and do the washing since they’re too small for a person to do any pressure washing – if you can get in at all. Even if they’re big enough for a person, the access isn’t designed to allow anyone to get in easily.

And you can’t get too carried away with the pressure and water you use. There are access doors on every floor and they aren’t designed to hold high pressure water in.

And you have to make sure the room at the bottom of the trash chute has a way to control the water flow. There will be a few hundred gallons of hot soapy water coming down and you don’t want it to get outside the trash room.
