- Odor Elimination: The enclosed waste bin and the Dual-Box System are designed to trap odors effectively, ensuring a fresh environment.
- Manual Cleaning: You can initiate a cleaning cycle manually through the Popur app at any time.

- Cleaning the Unit: The open design and accessible components make the Popur X5 easy to sanitize. Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Do not submerge any part of the unit in water.
