Stainless steel or under the counter?
There will not be room in the pantry for a trash can. What is better, stainless steel or under the sink with a pull out trash can? I don't like the fact that it will be under the sink but worry about finger prints, etc. Any ideas, suggestions?
Re: Stainless steel or under the counter?
We have a stainless steel-colored one from SimpleHuman. It doesn't show fingerprints and matches with our appliances. It's got the foot step so you don't have to use your hands to open it, which is nice when we're dealing with cooking certain things. If it was under the sink, you'd have to open the door, and if you've got raw meat juice on your hands, that's gross...IMO.
I think I probably have the same trash can as PP.
We love it and yes sometimes it shows up some marks, but it's easy for a quick spot clean-up as opposed to trash under the sink. I don't think I'd like to keep mine there.
My Home Bio
We have stainless steel, but haven't been using it because it constantly showed the nose prints from our pets and my son's finger prints. We have been doing a small bag on the counter because we are trying to figure this out too - I like it being hidden, but don't like having to touch the cabinet to get to it. We also don't have a good spot for the can so it was kind of in the walkway which is another reason it wasn't working well for us.
If we didn't have all the little ones to make it messy, a quick spray with vinegar/water probably would keep it clean.
GL!
