Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the trash can with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
- Lid not opening/closing smoothly: Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism. Ensure the inner buckets are correctly seated and not interfering with the lid's movement.
- Unpleasant odors: Regularly empty and clean the inner buckets. Use Brabantia PerfectFit trash bags to help contain odors.
- Stability issues: Ensure the trash can is placed on a flat, even surface. The non-skid base should prevent movement.
