Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Floral Hedgehog Compost Caddy is an ideal solution for eco-conscious homeowners looking to manage kitchen scraps with style. Designed for those who appreciate both aesthetics and functionality, this 2L unit keeps waste contained and odours at bay thanks to its integrated venting and filter system. While it is perfect for small-to-medium kitchens, its 2L capacity means it will need to be emptied more frequently by households that produce high volumes of food waste.

FAQs
What size bags should I use?
This caddy is compatible with standard 5-litre compostable food waste bags.
Is the enamel base dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to wipe the enamel base with a damp cloth to preserve the finish and the printed artwork.
Can I put meat and dairy scraps in it?
Yes, but be aware that these items decompose faster and may require more frequent emptying and filter replacements to manage odours.
Does the unit come with a filter?
The unit is designed with an integrated carbon filter holder; please check your specific product packaging for included initial supplies.
What are the dimensions of the caddy?
The caddy measures 22.5cm in height and 16.5cm in width and depth.
Troubleshooting
Odour escaping from the caddy
Ensure the carbon filter is correctly placed in the filter holder and consider replacing the filter if it has been in use for several months.
Lid does not sit flush
Check that the compostable bag is not bunched up between the bucket and the base; smooth the bag edges down before placing the lid.
Staining on the inner bucket
Remove the bucket from the enamel base and soak it in warm, soapy water before scrubbing with a soft sponge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Aesthetically pleasing design featuring nature-inspired artwork
- Easy to clean thanks to the removable plastic inner bucket
- Integrated carbon filter housing helps maintain a fresh kitchen environment
- Compact footprint ideal for small kitchen worktops
Cons
- Limited 2L capacity requires frequent emptying for larger households
- Bamboo lid requires careful cleaning to avoid water damage
- Replacement carbon filters must be managed as part of ongoing maintenance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your caddy, simply insert the plastic bucket into the enamel base. When installing a compostable bag, wrap the top edge of the bag around the rim of the plastic bucket before sliding it into the enamel housing; this ensures the lid closes securely without trapping plastic edges.
For cleaning, the outer enamel base should be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. The plastic inner bucket is dishwasher safe or can be hand-washed with mild detergent. Avoid submerging the bamboo lid in water; instead, wipe it clean and allow it to air dry fully to prevent warping. Periodically check and replace the carbon filter as needed to maintain optimal odour control.
