FAQs
Can I put this caddy in the dishwasher?
No, it is not dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is required to protect the enamel finish and the bamboo lid.
Does the lid have a filter for odors?
No, this model does not use charcoal filters. We recommend emptying the bin frequently to prevent odor build-up.
Is the bucket leak-proof?
The enamel body is solid and leak-proof, making it suitable for wet food waste, provided the contents are managed regularly.
What is the total capacity?
The caddy holds 2 liters, which is typically enough space for the daily food scraps of a small to medium-sized household.
Will the strawberry print fade over time?
The print is durable; however, avoid using harsh scrubbing tools on the exterior to ensure the design remains vibrant.
Troubleshooting
Visible spots or water marks on the exterior
Wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth and a tiny amount of olive oil to restore the enamel sheen.
Bamboo lid feels dry or rough
Periodically apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil to the lid to nourish the bamboo and prevent cracking.
Lingering odors after cleaning
Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda at the bottom of the caddy after cleaning to neutralize smells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your caddy is simple; place it on a flat, stable kitchen surface away from direct heat sources. To care for the enamel, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the finish or cause scratching. Clean the interior with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth, then dry immediately to prevent moisture buildup. The bamboo lid should be wiped down with a damp cloth and should never be submerged in water, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
