Using your Decor Walther Classic Soft-Close Pedal Bin is easy. Just step on the pedal to open the lid and drop your waste inside. When you release the pedal, the lid will close gently and quietly. Here are some things to keep in mind. Don't put overly heavy or sharp objects in the bin as they might damage it. To maintain the bin, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water. Wipe it dry after cleaning to prevent rust or damage to the finish. This will keep your bin looking great and working well for a long time.
