Product Overview
Here we have the Brabantia FT373, a compact and rather clever solution for waste management in professional settings. Don't let its small size fool you; this isn't your average domestic bin.

You can tell a lot about a product by its feel, and this Brabantia bin is solid. It's engineered for the commercial world, not just styled for it.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Courtyard Rooms," a luxury guesthouse in Bath, recently refurbished their en-suite bathrooms and needed a waste bin that matched the new high-end fixtures. Their old plastic bins were noisy and looked out of place, detracting from the guest experience.
"Our guests expect quality in every detail. The old bins were an eyesore and the clanging lids were a common complaint on feedback forms. The Brabantia bins are the complete opposite – they're silent, look incredibly smart, and feel substantial. They just blend in beautifully."
Eleanor Vance – Proprietor
The upgrade resulted in the complete elimination of negative feedback regarding bathroom amenities and noise, reinforcing the guesthouse's premium reputation.

- Simply unbox the bin and remove all protective packaging.
- Place the removable plastic inner bucket inside the main steel body.
- Position the bin on a flat, stable surface where it will be used.
- Your bin is now ready for use – no assembly required!
Keeping It Going
- To clean, wipe the matt black exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers.
- The removable inner bucket can be washed with warm, soapy water.
- Use standard 3-5 litre bin liners for a perfect fit and easy emptying.
- Periodically check the pedal mechanism is free from debris to ensure smooth operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size bin liner should I use for this bin?
A: Standard 3-litre or 5-litre bin liners, widely available from most supermarkets and suppliers, will fit perfectly.
Q: How does the soft-close mechanism work?
A: It uses a specially designed damped hinge that slows the lid's descent, ensuring it closes gently and silently every time.
Q: Is the matt black finish difficult to keep clean?
A: Not at all. A simple wipe-down with a soft, damp microfibre cloth is all that's needed to remove fingerprints and keep it looking smart.
Q: Is the inner bucket made of metal or plastic?
A: The removable inner bucket is made from a durable, high-quality plastic, making it lightweight and very easy to clean.
Q: How effective is the non-slip base on wet floors?
A: The soft, non-slip ring on the base is designed to provide excellent grip and prevent scratches on all floor types, including damp tiles.
Q: Can this bin be used outdoors?
A: It is designed and constructed for indoor use. While it is corrosion-resistant for humid indoor areas, it is not intended for permanent outdoor exposure.
Q: What prevents the bin from tipping over when you press the pedal?
A: It features a clever anti-tilting block in its base design, which provides extra stability and stops it from rocking backwards during use.
Q: Is the pedal mechanism durable enough for commercial use?
A: Yes, Brabantia is renowned for its robust engineering. The pedal system is designed to withstand frequent, repeated use in a commercial environment.

We've all been there – the loud 'clang' of a pedal bin lid slamming shut, echoing through a quiet space. A soft-close mechanism completely eliminates that. Think of it like a tiny, clever shock absorber built into the hinge. When you take your foot off the pedal, instead of gravity taking over and letting the lid crash down, the hinge gently and slowly lowers it to a close without a sound.
In a professional setting like a spa, a quiet library, or a hotel room at night, this small detail makes a huge difference. It removes an unnecessary source of noise, creating a more peaceful and premium environment for your clients, guests, or staff. It’s a subtle feature that says you’ve thought about their comfort.
