FAQs
Is the compost caddy dishwasher safe?
No, the enamel bin and bamboo lid should be hand-washed to maintain the decorative design and the integrity of the bamboo.
Can I put liquids directly into the caddy?
It is recommended to avoid placing heavy liquids in the bin; wrap wet scraps in paper or compostable liners to minimize moisture buildup.
Does this caddy include a plastic liner?
The product does not include plastic liners, though you can use standard 2-liter compostable bags if desired.
Is the bamboo lid airtight?
The lid is designed to rest securely on the bin for aesthetic and containment purposes but is not hermetically sealed.
Can I leave this outside?
This caddy is designed for indoor kitchen use; weather exposure may damage the enamel and degrade the bamboo lid.
Troubleshooting
Persistent odors within the caddy
Empty the contents daily and wash the interior with warm soapy water, ensuring the rim is dried thoroughly.
Bamboo lid fits loosely
Check the rim of the enamel bin for debris and ensure the silicone or friction fit seal (if applicable) is free of residue.
Stains on the enamel interior
Use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a gentle paste to scrub away food residue without damaging the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply place the caddy on a flat, stable surface in your kitchen. To maintain the item, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the enamel finish. The bamboo lid should be hand-washed only and kept dry to prevent warping or mold growth; do not submerge the lid in water for extended periods. Periodically treat the bamboo lid with food-safe mineral oil to maintain its luster and moisture resistance.
