FAQs
Can I put the caddy in the dishwasher?
No, the enamel body and bamboo lid should be hand-washed to preserve the print and the finish of the wood.
Does it come with carbon filters included?
The caddy includes a filter holder; please check your specific packaging for initial filter inclusion, as replacements are sold separately.
Will 5-litre bags fit this caddy?
Yes, it is specifically designed to be compatible with 5-litre compostable liners.
What are the exact dimensions?
The caddy measures 22.5cm in height by 16.5cm in width and 16.5cm in depth.
Is the ceramic handle heat-resistant?
Yes, the ceramic handle is designed to remain cool even in standard kitchen environments.
How do I hide the compost bag?
Place the bag into the plastic inner bucket and fold the edges over the rim; the bamboo lid will then sit flush over the top to conceal the bag.
Troubleshooting
The lid feels difficult to open or close.
Ensure the compostable bag is tucked neatly inside the bucket so that the edges do not catch on the lid rim.
Persistent odours are escaping.
Check if the carbon filter is saturated and needs replacement, or ensure the inner plastic bucket is rinsed and dried.
Condensation inside the caddy.
This is common with high-moisture waste. Empty the bin more frequently and leave the lid slightly ajar if necessary during very humid weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your caddy is straightforward. Simply insert a compatible 5-litre compostable bag into the plastic inner bucket and place it inside the enamel shell. To maintain the life of your product:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the inner plastic bucket with mild soap and warm water. Wipe the exterior enamel body with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the bee print.
- Filter Care: If you notice odours becoming noticeable, check the carbon filter in the lid holder and replace it as necessary.
- Lid Care: Keep the bamboo lid dry. If it becomes wet, wipe it down immediately to prevent the wood from swelling or discolouring.
- Placement: Keep the caddy away from direct heat sources like ovens or radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the compost inside prematurely.
