Full details
The Floral Hedgehog Food Waste Caddy is designed for eco-conscious kitchen owners and wildlife enthusiasts who want a charming, countertop solution for collecting food scraps. With its 2L capacity and integrated odor-control features, it simplifies composting while keeping your kitchen aesthetic tidy, though its compact size means it requires more frequent emptying than larger industrial-style bins.

FAQs
Can I put this caddy in the dishwasher?
No, the caddy is not dishwasher safe. The enamel finish and bamboo lid should be cleaned by hand.
What size bags do I need?
The caddy is specifically designed to be compatible with 5-litre compostable bags.
How often should I replace the carbon filter?
Frequency depends on use, but generally every 3 to 6 months. If you notice odors despite regular emptying, it is time for a replacement.
Is the lid airtight?
The lid is designed to sit securely but includes venting holes to allow for airflow, which is necessary for the carbon filter system to work effectively.
Can I use the caddy without a bag?
Yes, you can use the inner bucket directly, though using a compostable bag makes cleaning much faster and easier.
Troubleshooting
Odors escaping from the caddy
Check if the carbon filter is saturated or improperly seated in the holder. Replace the filter and ensure the lid is fully closed.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Ensure the compostable bag is not overflowing or caught between the inner bucket and the enamel base. Empty the bucket more frequently.
Bamboo lid looks dull or dry
Apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil to the bamboo to condition the wood and maintain its appearance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Charming aesthetic design
- Easy to clean with removable inner bucket
- Integrated odor control venting and filter holder
- Compact footprint ideal for small kitchens
Cons
- 2L capacity requires frequent emptying
- Not dishwasher safe
- Bamboo lid requires manual care to prevent warping
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the caddy, simply insert the plastic inner bucket into the enamel base. If you choose to use liners, place a 5-litre compostable bag into the inner bucket, folding the edges over the rim before replacing the bamboo lid.
Care Instructions:
- Enamel Base: Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads that may scratch the floral finish.
- Inner Bucket: Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Bamboo Lid: Keep dry. If it gets dirty, wipe with a damp cloth immediately and avoid soaking in water, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
- Filters: Inspect the carbon filter periodically and replace as needed depending on the type of waste deposited.
