FAQs
Is the caddy dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the caddy to preserve the botanical enamel finish and prevent chipping.
Does it need a charcoal filter?
This model does not feature a filter housing; it relies on a well-fitted lid to contain odors.
Can I use compost bags inside?
Yes, standard small compostable bin liners can be used to make emptying the caddy even cleaner.
What is the total capacity?
The caddy holds 2 liters, which is ideal for a day or two of food waste for a small to medium household.
Will it rust?
The enamel coating protects the steel, but if the enamel is chipped, the exposed metal can rust. Always dry the bin after washing.
Troubleshooting
Persistent food odors
Ensure the lid is seated correctly and empty the bin more frequently; wipe the inner rim to ensure no debris prevents a proper seal.
Stains inside the caddy
Soak the interior with warm water and mild detergent for 15 minutes, then wipe clean with a soft sponge.
Chipping or scratching
Handle with care near hard surfaces like stone or granite; if chips occur, keep the area dry to prevent rust on the underlying metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This caddy requires no assembly; it is ready to use out of the box. Place the unit on a flat, stable kitchen surface away from direct heat sources like stoves or toasters to maintain the enamel finish. To care for your caddy, hand wash it using mild soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the botanical pattern. Because the interior is enamel, it is naturally resistant to food staining, but it should be dried thoroughly after washing to prevent any potential water spots. It is compatible with standard small compostable liners if you prefer an extra layer of cleanliness, though the enamel surface is designed to be wiped clean easily.
