Bathroom Bins FAQ
What size bathroom bin do I need for everyday use?
For everyday use, a small to medium bathroom bin - between 3 and 6 litres - is usually spot on. It’s big enough for daily bits like tissues and cotton pads, but not so bulky it gets in the way. If the bathroom sees a lot of foot traffic, a 6-litre bin saves you from constant emptying. A removable inner bucket also makes clean-up a doddle.
How many litres should a typical bathroom bin hold?
A typical bathroom bin should hold around 3 to 6 litres. This size handles everyday waste without hogging the space. A smaller 3–5 litre option suits a guest loo, while 6 litres is ideal for busy family bathrooms. A bin with a snug-fitting lid is handy for keeping smells in check - nobody wants a whiff when brushing their teeth.
Which are the most durable bathroom bins for humid conditions?
The most durable bathroom bins for humid conditions are made from stainless steel or powder-coated metal, as both resist rust well. Look for sealed seams, a corrosion-resistant finish, and added perks like anti-fingerprint coatings. A 5 or 10-year warranty is a good sign it’s built to last. Johnstons, for example, offer lifetime repairs on many of their designs.
How do I clean and maintain a bathroom bin to prevent odours or rust?
To prevent odours or rust, clean your bathroom bin weekly with warm soapy water, then dry it properly - especially if it’s metal. A vinegar rinse helps fight bacteria and niffs without any harsh chemicals. For bins with an inner bucket, take it out and give it a separate scrub. Steer clear of abrasive cleaners that could wear away protective finishes.
Are there bathroom bins with soft-close or noiseless lids?
Yes, many bathroom bins now come with soft-close or noiseless lids as standard. These hush-hush lids stop the clatter and protect the hinge from daily wear. Look for pedal-operated bins described as “soft-close” - they’re a game-changer during the early morning rush. You’ll find plenty in our bathroom bins collection.
