Position it where the lid can rise fully without hitting a wall cabinet — a common problem with taller bins placed under worktops. Lift the inner bucket to wash it weekly and dry it before re-lining. Cream finishes hide fingerprints better than polished steel, but wipe spills promptly since a pale bin shows staining. Wipe the pedal linkage occasionally to keep the action smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst an 11.5L bin, 18 litres means less frequent emptying in a family kitchen.
