Using this waste bin is a breeze. Simply open the self - closing doors on top and drop your waste inside. The hooks are there to hold the liners firmly in place, so you don't have to worry about them slipping down. When it comes to maintenance, regularly empty the bin to prevent overfilling and odor buildup. Use a mild stainless - steel cleaner to wipe down the body and keep it looking shiny. Be careful not to use abrasive materials as they can scratch the satin finish. Place the bin on a flat surface to take full advantage of the rubber feet for stability. And the vinyl wall bumper will protect the walls around it, so there's no need to worry about accidental bumps.
