Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your mDesign storage bins, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the bins with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface.
• Drying: Ensure bins are thoroughly dry before storing items, especially if storing fabrics or moisture-sensitive materials.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the bins to extreme heat or cold, as this may cause warping or cracking.
• Weight Limit: Avoid overloading the bins with excessively heavy items to prevent stress on the plastic.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

Bins are stuck together after shipping.

Due to static cling or tight nesting during transport, bins may sometimes be difficult to separate.

• Gentle Twisting: Try gently twisting the top bin while holding the bottom one firmly.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of mild soap and water, or a few drops of cooking oil (like olive or vegetable oil), to the contact points between the bins. This can reduce friction and static. Wipe clean thoroughly after separation.
• Warm Water: Fill the inner bin with warm (not hot) water for a few minutes, or place the nested bins in a warm room. The slight expansion might help.

Inspect bins upon arrival. If a bin is significantly scratched or damaged, please contact customer support for assistance.
