Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Food Waste Caddy is designed for home cooks who want an efficient and stylish way to collect kitchen scraps while maintaining a coastal aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the combination of a durable enamel exterior with a compact 2-liter capacity that sits neatly on any countertop, though users should note it lacks an integrated carbon filter system, meaning frequent emptying is recommended to prevent odors.

FAQs
Is this caddy dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand-wash the caddy to preserve the finish and integrity of the enamel coating.
Does this caddy include a charcoal filter?
No, this model does not use charcoal filters. It relies on the non-porous nature of the enamel to prevent smells.
Can I use compostable bags with this?
Yes, you can line the caddy with small compostable liners to make emptying and cleaning even easier.
Is the exterior print fade-resistant?
The enamel-baked print is designed for durability; however, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the exterior to keep the pattern vibrant.
What is the total capacity of the container?
The container has a 2-liter capacity, which is ideal for daily kitchen scrap collection.
Troubleshooting
Odors developing inside the caddy
Empty the contents more frequently and wash the interior with a mixture of baking soda and warm water to neutralize lingering scents.
Stains appearing on the interior
Soak the interior with a mild vinegar solution for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly to lift organic stains.
Handle feeling loose
Check the attachment points for any debris or mineral buildup and ensure the handle is properly seated in the slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is immediate as no assembly is required; simply place the unit on a flat, stable surface near your main prep area. While the enamel is robust, it should not be placed near extreme high-heat sources like open stovetop burners. To keep the product in optimal condition, wash the caddy by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh metal brushes, as these can scratch the enamel finish. Ensure the interior is completely dry before adding fresh waste to prevent moisture buildup at the bottom of the container.
