5. Maintenance

To maintain the clarity and longevity of your mDesign storage bins, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Hand Wash Only: Clean with mild soap and warm water.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the plastic.
• Drying: Air dry or wipe with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem: Bins are stuck together and difficult to separate.

This can occur if the bins were nested while still warm during manufacturing, causing them to fuse slightly. While the manufacturer typically places protective material between nested bins, some may still stick.

Solution:

• Warm Water Method: Fill a sink or tub with warm, soapy water. Submerge the stuck bins and allow them to soak for a few minutes. The warmth and lubrication from the soap can help loosen the bond. Gently twist and pull the bins apart.
• Temperature Differential: Place the nested bins in a refrigerator overnight. The cold temperature can cause the plastic to contract slightly. Then, try to separate them. If still stuck, immediately plunge them into warm, soapy water and attempt separation.
• Avoid Force: Do not use excessive force or sharp objects, as this may crack or damage the bins.
