Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your waste receptacle.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stainless steel, use a cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel to maintain its finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
• Interior Cleaning: Periodically clean the interior of the receptacle, especially after emptying, to prevent odors and bacterial buildup.
• Door Mechanism: Inspect the self-closing spring hinge periodically for smooth operation. If the door becomes stiff or does not close properly, check for obstructions or wear. Do not lubricate the hinge unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Damage Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of damage, such as dents, scratches, or loose components. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
