Using this sanitary napkin and tampon disposal is easy. Simply open the self - closing panel, which will automatically close after you're done to keep the restroom clean. Put your waste into the removable plastic receptacle. When it's full, just take out the receptacle and empty it. Make sure to check the rough wall opening size before installation to ensure a proper fit. For maintenance, regularly clean the stainless - steel body with a mild cleaner to keep its satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Also, always ensure the receptacle is properly in place to prevent leaks.
