FAQs
Is this dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the caddy and the bamboo lid to protect the finish and the integrity of the natural wood.
Can I use compost liners inside?
Yes, you can use small compostable liners to make cleanup even easier, provided they fit the 2L capacity.
Does it come with an odor filter?
No, this model relies on the fit of the bamboo lid rather than a charcoal filter to contain odors.
Is the material heavy?
While durable, the enamel is lightweight enough to be moved easily even when full.
Will the pink pinstripes fade over time?
The design is meant for long-term kitchen use, but avoiding harsh chemicals and direct sunlight will help preserve the vibrant colors.
Troubleshooting
The bamboo lid feels tight or loose over time
Bamboo is a natural material that reacts to humidity. If it feels tight, ensure the area is dry. If it is loose, a light coating of food-safe mineral oil can help maintain the wood's integrity.
Visible spots or food residue on the enamel
Use a gentle, non-abrasive dish soap and a soft sponge to remove residue immediately after use to prevent staining.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the enamel body with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the pattern.
- Lid Maintenance: Wipe the bamboo lid with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the wood, as prolonged moisture can cause warping or mold.
- Placement: Keep the caddy away from direct heat sources like stovetops or ovens to prevent heat-related damage to the finish.
