Maintenance
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the trash can with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

The inner buckets can be easily removed and washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before placing them back into the trash can.
General Care
Regularly check the soft-touch mechanism for any debris that might hinder its smooth operation. Keep the area around the lid clean.
Troubleshooting
- Lid not opening smoothly: Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism. Ensure the lid is clean and free of debris.
