Can I leave the Tubtrug outside in winter?

Troubleshooting
Tub feels stiff in cold temperatures
The plastic becomes more rigid in freezing weather. Bring the tub indoors or leave it in a warm area for a short time to regain its natural flexibility.
Dirt stuck to the surface
Use a soft-bristled brush and warm, soapy water. Avoid wire brushes as they will scratch the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Tubtrug; it is ready to use immediately upon receipt. To maintain the life of your Tubtrug, avoid using sharp metal tools or harsh industrial solvents, which can compromise the structural integrity of the polyethylene. While the tub is UV-resistant and can be stored outdoors, keeping it out of prolonged, intense direct sunlight when not in use will help maintain its flexibility over many years. For routine care, simply rinse with water and mild detergent.
