FAQs
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
No, the bamboo lid should not be placed in the dishwasher. The plastic inner bucket can be hand-washed easily.
What size bags do I need?
This caddy is designed to be compatible with 5-litre compostable bags.
How often should I change the carbon filter?
It is recommended to replace the filter every 2 to 3 months, or sooner if you notice persistent odors.
Is the lid airtight?
The lid is designed to sit securely but includes venting holes for the carbon filter system to allow for proper airflow.
Can I store meat scraps in this?
While it can hold scraps, it is designed for general kitchen waste. If storing meat or dairy, empty the caddy daily to prevent attraction of pests and strong odors.
Troubleshooting
Odour leakage
Check if the carbon filter is saturated or improperly seated; replace the filter as needed.
Lid feels stuck
Ensure no food debris is trapped around the rim of the bucket or the underside of the lid.
Inner bucket staining
Soak the plastic inner bucket in a mixture of warm water and baking soda to lift stubborn food stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Purely Home caddy is straightforward: simply place the inner bucket inside the base and insert your carbon filter into the holder within the lid. To ensure compatibility, use 5-litre compostable bags, which fit securely around the rim of the inner bucket. For cleaning, remove the plastic inner bucket and wash it with mild soapy water. Wipe the bamboo lid and ceramic handle with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the bamboo, as excessive moisture can cause it to warp or discolor over time.
