FAQs

What is the exact capacity of this mini trash can?

Can this trash can be used in a kitchen?

Yes, it can be used in a kitchen for small amounts of waste like coffee pods, tea bags, or food scraps. However, its small capacity may require frequent emptying for higher-volume kitchen waste.

How do I clean the stainless steel base?

You can wipe the stainless steel base with a damp cloth and mild soap. For best results and to maintain shine, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner following the product's instructions.

Does the swing lid lock in place?

No, the swing lid features a gravity mechanism that allows it to open easily with a push and automatically swing back to close. It does not have a locking mechanism.

What materials is the trash can made of?

The trash can is constructed with a durable PP (polypropylene) body and a stainless steel base.

How does the bag hiding feature work?

A removable inner liner ring is placed over the trash bag after it's inserted into the bin. This ring secures the bag and allows you to tuck the excess bag material underneath it, creating a clean, seamless look without visible bag edges.

Are there other color options available for this model?

Yes, this model is available in other colors, including Pink, Black, White, and Grey, under different product titles.

Troubleshooting

Lid not closing properly

Ensure the lid is seated correctly on the bin. Check that nothing is obstructing the swing mechanism. Verify the inner liner ring is properly placed and not interfering with the lid's closure.

Trash bag is visible

Make sure the inner liner ring is fully inserted and pressing down firmly on the edges of the trash bag, creating a taut fit around the inner bin.

Trash can feels unstable

Ensure the trash can is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the stainless steel base is clean and free of debris that might cause wobbling.

Fingerprints or smudges on the surface

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild cleaning solution and dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
