Troubleshooting
Bin loses shape
Ensure the bin is not exposed to excessive humidity or moisture. If misshapen, gently reshape by hand while damp and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Surface appears dry or brittle
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or dry environments. Lightly misting with water and allowing to air dry can help restore flexibility. Do not soak.
Mildew or mold appears
Clean the affected area with a diluted vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) and a soft cloth. Ensure the area is thoroughly dried afterward. This is rare due to its resistance properties but can occur with prolonged dampness in stagnant conditions.
