Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your mDesign storage bin.
Cleaning: Clean the bin regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe surfaces. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Drying: Dry the bin immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots, especially on the clear plastic. A microfiber cloth is ideal for a streak-free finish.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or solvents (like alcohol or paint thinner) as these can damage or cloud the plastic.
Prevent Scratches: Avoid dragging the bin across rough surfaces. Do not use sharp objects inside the bin that could scratch the interior. Store items carefully to prevent impact damage.
Temperature: Do not expose the bin to extreme temperatures, such as direct sunlight for prolonged periods or very hot liquids, as this may cause warping or discoloration.
Troubleshooting
While the mDesign storage bin is a simple and durable product, here are some common considerations and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Bin appears scratched or scuffed upon arrival. | While products are inspected, minor surface imperfections can sometimes occur during manufacturing or shipping. If the damage significantly impacts functionality or aesthetics, please contact customer support for assistance. |
| Bin does not fit in intended space. | Always measure your intended storage space (width, depth, height) before purchasing. Refer to the "Specifications" section for exact product dimensions. |
| Plastic appears cloudy or discolored over time. | This can be caused by using harsh cleaning chemicals, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, or accumulation of hard water stains. Ensure you follow the "Maintenance and Care" guidelines. For hard water stains, a diluted vinegar solution followed by thorough rinsing may help. |
| Bin feels unstable when filled. | Ensure the bin is placed on a flat, stable surface. Distribute contents evenly to maintain balance. Avoid overfilling, especially with heavy items. |
