FAQs

What is the exact capacity of this container?

The container has a capacity of 10,000 millilitres (10 litres), which is equivalent to approximately 10 kilograms for dense items like rice or grains.

Is this container safe for storing pet food?

Yes, it is made from food-grade PP plastic and features an airtight seal, making it safe and effective for storing dry pet food, helping to keep it fresh and protected from pests and moisture.

Can I store liquids in this container?

No, this container is specifically designed for dry goods and is not watertight. Storing liquids is not recommended as it may lead to leaks and damage.

How do I ensure the airtight seal is effective?

Make sure the lid and the container rim are clean and dry before closing. Press down firmly on the lid all around to ensure it clicks or seals securely. Check for any food debris that might obstruct the seal.

What are the cleaning instructions?

The container should be hand washed with mild soap and warm water. It is important to dry it thoroughly after washing, especially the lid and seal, before refilling to maintain dryness and prevent moisture buildup.

Can the lid be removed completely for cleaning?

Yes, the lid is designed to be removable, allowing for easier and more thorough cleaning of both the lid and the container interior.

What material is the container made from?

The container is made from durable, food-grade PP (polypropylene) plastic.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal properly.

Ensure the rim of the container and the seal on the lid are free from debris, food particles, or moisture. Check that the lid is firmly pressed down all around to engage the seal.

Container appears foggy or cloudy.

This is typically condensation. Ensure the contents are completely dry before storing and that the container is dry after washing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Difficulty opening or closing the lid.

Ensure there is no food residue or water trapped between the lid and the container rim. If new, the seal may be tight; try gently wiggling the lid as you open it.
