4. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Brabantia laundry bin, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Bin: Wipe the exterior of the bin with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly.
- Washing the Laundry Bag: The cotton laundry bag is machine washable. Refer to the care label on the bag for specific washing instructions (typically a gentle cycle with cold or warm water). Air dry the bag to prevent shrinkage.
- Ventilation: The bin's ventilation holes are designed to allow air circulation, helping to prevent odors. Ensure these holes remain unobstructed.
