Using this Bradley waste receptacle is a breeze. Just open the hinged cover and toss your waste inside. It's designed for commercial restrooms, so you can use it in high - traffic areas. When it comes to maintenance, regularly empty the bin to prevent overflow. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the satin finish. Also, check the mounting periodically to ensure it remains secure. If you notice any issues with the hinge, you can gently lubricate it to keep it working smoothly.
