Product Insights
The Soft Handfeel Garbage Can is a 6.4-litre bin with a hinge-only, motorless lid that opens from any side with a light push and self-closes, offering twice the capacity of typical pedal bins without batteries or pedals. Its soft, grippy matte resin finish resists stains, water, rust, and impacts in humid bathrooms, and the lift-off lid simplifies emptying, though the soft-touch coating requires gentle cleaning with mild detergent to slow degradation from skin oils and humidity that can eventually cause stickiness. As an entry point to Simons Maison's exclusive bathroom collection, it provides a warm, quiet, and practical alternative to standard bins, with a matching wood upgrade available.

Lid lifts off for emptying; gentle cleaning preserves the soft-touch coating.
Why this is supported
The lid is removable for easy emptying and cleaning. However, the soft-touch coating is vulnerable:
Soft touch coatings break down when exposed to oils, UV light, and humidity over extended periods. The polymer structure degrades, causing the surface to become tacky or sticky to touch.
