FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the 500ml box?

The box has dimensions of approximately 5cm x 13cm.

Can I put this container in the dishwasher?

While not explicitly stated, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the integrity of the material and clip lid. If using a dishwasher, use the top rack and a mild detergent.

Is the lid airtight?

The box features a clip lid fastening, designed to provide a secure seal for freshness and to prevent minor spills. For true airtight storage, ensure all clips are firmly fastened.

What does 'Multipurpose' mean in the description?

It means the box can be used for a variety of storage needs, not just food. This includes organizing craft supplies, office items, hardware, or travel essentials.

How should I clean the green color to prevent staining?

Rinse the container immediately after use, especially with staining foods like tomato sauce. For deeper cleaning, a baking soda paste can help lift stains.

Is this product BPA-free?

Information regarding BPA content is not provided in the product details. However, it is described as microwave-safe and recyclable.

Can I use this container for freezing food?

The product information does not explicitly state freezer compatibility. It is generally advisable to test with non-critical items first, as freezing can sometimes make plastics brittle.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to clip shut

Ensure the container and lid are clean and dry. Check for any food debris or obstructions around the rim. If the plastic feels stiff, running the lid under warm water for a few seconds can make it more pliable.

Container has absorbed strong odors

Rinse the container immediately after use. For persistent odors, fill the container with a mixture of water and white vinegar or a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then wash thoroughly.

Container appears warped after microwaving

Ensure the lid is either completely removed or significantly loosened before microwaving. Do not overheat food. Allow the container to cool before handling.
