How do I use and clean the trash cabinet/hamper?
Cleaning and using the cabinets and feeders:
The cabinet is very easy to use. Think of it as a cabinet door that you pull open using the handle and also hold the handle to guide the door shut. We have a video available if a visual is helpful. See below. We now equip our cabinets and hampers with soft close dampers!
To use a trash cabinet, simply place the trash can inside the cabinet. If you purchased a Barlow or Prescott, the can will sit slightly elevated in front. It will be angled and not flat with a north-to-south orientation.
If you purchased a Dashwood, Livingston, or Templeton, they will sit flat with east-to-west origination.
The trash bins will hold a 13-gallon kitchen trash bag.
The cans should measure:
11 in. W x 15.25 in. D x 19.875 in. H. and hold 41 quarts or 10.25 gallons.
Our trash cabinets do not include a trash can.
Please use furniture protectors when placing items on top.
Our Farmhouse-style doors require very mild soap. Do not use essential oil-based or abrasive cleaners. They will dissolve the painted door front.
Any Baltic Birch wood tops, cabinet, hamper, feeder, or food storage should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use chemicals on wood.
Laundry hampers will come with removable laundry bags. The laundry bag dimensions are 15 ½“W x 9 ½” D x 23 ¼” H. They will hold a nice large load of laundry. Machine wash your bag with cold water and mild detergent. Lay flat to dry after smoothing and stretching the canvas. Do not put them in the dryer.
Pet feeders and pet food storage should follow the same cleaning instructions as our cabinets and hampers.
