When the product has a dishwasher symbol, you can wash it in the dishwasher. We always recommend washing plastic products in the upper part of the dishwasher and placing them there loosely. Symbols tell us a lot about the use and benefits of the products, take a look at their meanings here.

When the product has a microwave symbol, you can heat it in the microwave. Note that with oily food there is a risk of overheating, because oil gets hot very quickly. We recommend stirring the food every now and then while heating it in the microwave. Symbols tell us a lot about the use and benefits of the products, take a look at their meanings here.

All SmartStore™ products except the SmartStore Recycled -boxes made from recycled material are approved for contact with food.

Sorry to hear that there are problems with removing the sticker from a new product. You can get the sticker off by using hot water and adding some washing-up liquid to it. Soak the product in the hot water for a while and then peel the label off. You can also use olive oil when peeling off the glue. With bigger, bulky products you can use window cleaning spray.

Staining may occur at high temperatures, if the box has contained e.g. carrot or beetroot or if there are other dishes with traces of food that have not been rinsed. We recommend rinsing the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher if they contained brightly-coloured ingredients.

Yes, you can count on our products' quality. We use only safe plastics that don't contain any BPA. We test all of our products regularly, both at independent test laboratories and through function tests. Our material suppliers have strict controls over production and processes, enabling them to guarantee that the materials are tested and approved. Nearly all of our plastic products are produced in Sweden or Finland, and we always follow the strict requirements as set out in EU rules and regulations.

BPA (bisphenol A) can be used in the production of polycarbonate (PC) and as a hardener in other plastics. It helps to make the plastics impact resistant and also helps them to withstand acids, fats and oils at high temperatures. However, BPA may have harmful effects, especially on small children, and its use is even banned in baby bottles. All products manufactured from traditional plastic by Orthex Group are made of BPA-free materials. Also, all our recycled materials are safe and tested, but because the material origins from many different products, we can’t fully guarantee that small traces of BPA would not exist. Orthex Group guarantees that all of our products marked with a food approval symbol (fork and glass symbol) are free of BPA and phthalates. We care about you and your family's safety and our environment. You are safe with us. Read more about BPA here.

High temperatures may cause the plastic to become marked. Especially with oily food there is a risk of overheating, since oil gets boiling hot very quickly. We recommend stirring the food every now and then while heating it in the microwave. If the surface of the box becomes uneven, the product should be replaced with a new one for hygienic reasons.

The symbols tell you important product information. You can for example see the product guarantee, whether the product is made of food-grade material, what kind of temperatures it withstands, how to use and clean it and how to recycle it. You'll find the meanings of the symbols here.

The combination of heat and tightly packed dishes may affect plastic products and cause them to deform and bend. However, the products are still perfectly safe to use.

SmartStore^TM boxes are very durable, but sometimes the conditions may be too tough. Have you used the lid outdoors or in very low or high temperatures? Or have you stored really heavy or sharp objects in it? For tougher conditions and use, we recommend SmartStore^TM PRO boxes, which are as unbreakable as it gets.

We recommend placing plastic products loosely in the dishwasher. Even with high quality products the combination of heat and tightly packed dishes may have an effect and cause them to deform and bend. Even if the lids appear a little bent, they are still ok to use, because of their soft material. Soft material makes the lids easy to open and close.
