A bin storage cover is an investment, and like all good investments, it should be maintained to get the most from it. Depending on the material, a simple clean every month can prevent mould, mildew, or weather-related damage. For wooden covers, consider applying a protective wood sealant once or twice a year. Metal units may need rust treatment or anti-corrosion sprays to hold up against Ireland’s rain.
Regularly check for any damage or loose hinges to avoid long-term issues. If your cover has moving parts or gas hinges, a little lubrication goes a long way in keeping everything smooth and quiet. By taking just a few minutes each month to maintain your cover, you’ll ensure it looks good, works perfectly, and lasts for years.
