Yes they do!

Yes, these bowls are likely to scratch a ceramic or butler sink, the orange bowl is much less likely to though as it has a hardwearing outer coat finish. An easy fix is to use a silicone matt underneath. 

While there doesn't seem to be a standard sink size or washing up bowl size, our bowl is a bit bigger and deeper than some plastic ones. The best thing is to get our your tape measure and see if it will fit that way. It's 364mm long, 314mm wide and 150mm tall. If you're really on the fence and unsure but want to give it a try, we do accepted returns as long as it's unused and in it's original packaging.

Both bowls are made from the same premium 304 grade stainless steel, with the same 10 litre capacity and dimensions. The orange bowl has a durable matt powder-coat finish, which adds a splash of colour and slightly better scratch resistance against delicate sinks, but means it should be hand washed rather than put in the dishwasher. The steel bowl has a plain finish and is fully dishwasher safe.

Yes — the large flattened rim makes it easy to carry, so many customers use it for jobs beyond the sink, from spring cleaning to washing vegetables fresh from the garden or allotment, soaking laundry, or even as a plant pot or ice bucket for outdoor entertaining.

The bowl comfortably fits 10 inch plates, along with most everyday pots and pans. At 364mm long and 150mm deep, there's enough room for a full sink load without constantly needing to empty and refill.

Yes — both the steel and orange washing up bowls are made from premium 304 grade stainless steel, the same food-grade material used across the Elephant Box range. It's non-reactive, hygienic, and built to handle daily use without staining or absorbing smells.

Under current UK advertising regulations, we're not able to make general claims about products being "environmentally friendly" — so we won't. What we can do is point you to the full picture: read about our approach on our People & Planet page and our Commitments page.

Yes — the Plastic Free Kitchen Kit pairs the washing up bowl with other Elephant Box essentials, so you can kit out a full plastic-free kitchen in one go. Take a look in our Bundles & Gifts section for the full kit.
