Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Both the trash can and the camp sink can be easily cleaned with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before collapsing and storing.
• Storage: Ensure both items are clean and dry before collapsing them for storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong material life.
• Durability: The materials are designed for regular indoor and outdoor use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects that could damage the fabric or silicone.

Troubleshooting

Trash Can Stability Issues

If the trash can appears flimsy or does not stand upright properly:

• Ensure Full Expansion: Make sure the internal spring mechanism is fully extended. Gently pull the top and bottom apart until it locks into its expanded position.
• Even Surface: Place the trash can on a flat, even surface. Uneven ground can cause it to lean.
• Weight Distribution: When filling, distribute the weight evenly inside the can. Heavy items placed on one side can cause instability.
• Secure Placement: In windy conditions, consider placing rocks or other heavy objects around the base, or securing the handles to a nearby anchor point if possible.

Camp Sink Capacity Concerns

If the camp sink seems too shallow for your needs:

• Verify Expansion: Ensure the silicone walls are fully extended upwards.
• Intended Use: The 7-liter (approximately 1.85 gallons) capacity is designed for tasks like washing a few dishes, holding ice for drinks, or a small foot soak. For larger volumes of water or items, multiple fills may be required.
