For the cleaning, wash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent. Never leave metal objects for a long time in contact with the stainless steel parts of the trash bin, to prevent corrosion. Avoid contact with muriatic acid, bleach or any solvent which maydamage the product. To keep the shine on the stainless steel parts of your trash bin, it is recommended to use a microfiber glove to clean stainless steel and also the Stain Remover to polish and remove stains on stainless steel surfaces. Do not use for cleaning, stainless steel wool or other materials or products which can scratch the stainless steel.
