Using this trash can cover is super easy. Just stretch it over your 41 - 50 gallon trash can. The elastic holes on both sides help it stay in place. You can use it at weddings, parties, or just at home to hide your trash can. When it gets dirty, simply toss it in the washing machine. You can tumble dry it on low heat. It can withstand over 100 washes and dryings. Just make sure to use a normal washing cycle and avoid using harsh detergents. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent tearing.
