Troubleshooting
Bucket appears less flexible than expected.
Extreme cold temperatures can temporarily reduce plastic flexibility. Allow the bucket to warm up to room temperature before use.
Slight discoloration or texture variations.
This is normal for products made from 100% recycled plastic and does not affect the bucket's performance or durability.
Bucket is difficult to stack.
Ensure the buckets are clean and completely dry before stacking. Uneven surfaces or debris can obstruct proper stacking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Xtrade Flexi-Tub Bucket requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging and it is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: This tub is designed for general-purpose use and is compatible with most common household, garden, and construction materials. It is not intended for use with highly corrosive chemicals without prior testing.
Care: To maintain the bucket's condition, rinse it out after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth.

Ensure the tub is dry before stacking to prevent mildew or odors.
