Plastic is light and practical
Plastic models are easy to move and wipe clean with a damp cloth. A metallic finish doesn't necessarily mean the bin is made of stainless steel.
Choose steel and stainless steel carefully
Metal can suit a modern kitchen beautifully. How visible fingerprints are depends on the finish. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions and check the exact material.
Clean the inside, lid and pedal
Use a mild cleaner and avoid abrasive products. Let the inside dry before fitting a fresh liner. A removable inner bucket can make cleaning easier.
