FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the tub?
The tub measures 35cm in length, 25cm in width, and 39cm in height.
Is the recycled plastic food-safe?
The product information does not specify food-safe status. It is recommended for general household, gardening, and storage use, not for direct food consumption or storage.
Can this tub be used for hot liquids?
The tub is not rated for high temperatures and is best used with cold or ambient temperature liquids and materials.
How many handles does it have?
The tub features two integrated handles for carrying.
What is the total weight capacity?
While the tub is durable, the exact weight capacity is not specified. Distribute weight evenly and avoid overfilling to ensure safe lifting.
Will the color fade in direct sunlight?
The tub is UV resistant, which helps to prevent significant fading and degradation from sun exposure.
Can I stack multiple tubs?
Yes, the design allows for stacking when empty, aiding in efficient storage.
Troubleshooting
Tub appears less flexible than expected
If the tub has been stored in very cold conditions, allow it to warm up to room temperature. The material regains full flexibility as it acclimates.
Slight discoloration or surface marks
This is normal for products made from recycled materials and does not affect the tub's functionality or durability.
Water is leaking from the tub
Ensure the tub is not punctured or severely damaged. Small leaks from seams are unlikely given the molded design; check for external damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tub requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The XTrade Flexible 15L Tub is compatible with most standard household and gardening environments. It is suitable for use with water, soil, sand, and common cleaning agents. Avoid prolonged contact with harsh industrial solvents, as these may degrade the plastic.
Care: To clean the tub, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the surface. The tub is frost resistant, but prolonged extreme freezing of contents could potentially cause stress. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods, though outdoor storage is generally safe due to UV and frost resistance.
