Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Lighthouses Biscuit Tin is designed for homeowners and gift-givers who appreciate a nautical or coastal aesthetic in their kitchen decor. Its primary benefit is providing a sturdy, visually appealing storage solution for dry goods with a generous 2.7L capacity. A key caveat to note is that while the enamel base is robust, the bamboo lid is strictly limited to wipe-clean care, meaning it cannot be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.

FAQs
Is the tin dishwasher safe?
The enamel base is generally resistant, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the print. The bamboo lid must never be put in the dishwasher.
Does it come with an airtight seal?
The lid is designed to rest securely on top, but it is not a vacuum-sealed airtight container.
Can I store liquids in the tin?
No, this tin is specifically designed for dry food storage like biscuits and cookies.
What are the exact dimensions?
The tin measures approximately 16.5cm in diameter and 19cm in height.
Is the bamboo lid treated with any chemicals?
The lid features natural bamboo; it is recommended to wipe it with a damp cloth rather than using harsh chemicals for cleaning.
Will the lighthouse print fade?
With proper hand washing and by avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners, the design should remain vibrant for a long period.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not sit flush.
Ensure there are no crumbs or debris on the rim of the metal canister preventing the lid from seating correctly.
Bamboo lid looks dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the bamboo surface and wipe away excess to restore its natural luster.
Biscuits losing crispness.
Ensure the lid is pressed firmly onto the base. If you live in a humid climate, consider placing biscuits in a sealed plastic bag inside the tin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the canister is straightforward: remove all packaging, wash the enamel base with warm soapy water, and ensure it is completely dry before adding any food items. Do not put the bamboo lid in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack. To care for the lid, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry it immediately. The enamel base can be cleaned with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers on the exterior artwork to prevent scratching or fading of the lighthouse illustrations.
