FAQs
Is the tin dishwasher safe?
No, both the enamel tin and the bamboo lid should be hand-cleaned to maintain their finish and integrity.
Does the lid provide an airtight seal?
The lid is designed to sit securely to keep items fresh, but it is not a pressurized airtight seal.
Can I store tea bags in this tin?
Yes, its 2.7L capacity makes it an excellent choice for storing tea bags, coffee pods, or dry kitchen ingredients.
What are the dimensions of the tin?
The tin is designed to hold 2.7L of volume; please check your counter space to ensure it fits the width of your preferred area.
Will the navy blue print fade over time?
If kept out of direct, harsh sunlight and cleaned with non-abrasive cloths, the print is designed to remain vibrant for years.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not sit flush
Bamboo is a natural material that may expand or contract with humidity. Ensure the tin is not placed in a high-moisture area and allow the lid to settle.
Outer surface has minor smudges
Wipe the enamel surface with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may dull the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your biscuit tin, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Cleaning: Before the first use, wash the enamel tin with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the bamboo lid with a damp cloth.
- Daily Use: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like ovens or toasters, which could affect the bamboo lid.
- Lid Care: Never submerge the bamboo lid in water. If it becomes dry, a light application of food-grade mineral oil can help nourish the wood.
- Tin Care: Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool on the exterior to prevent scratching the William Morris pattern. Use a soft sponge and mild detergent for cleaning.
