Cleaning & Drying
Hand Wash Only
Wash promptly after use with warm water and mild dish soap. Do not soak, as prolonged moisture can cause swelling, warping, or cracking.
Do Not Use a Dishwasher
High heat, steam, and harsh drying cycles can damage the wood, causing cracks, splitting, or fading.
Clean Gently
Use a soft sponge or cloth and wipe along the wood grain. Avoid steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh cleaning products.
Dry Immediately
Wipe dry with a clean towel and air dry in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight, stoves, ovens, and other heat sources.
Handling Common Issues
Removing Odors
Make a paste using baking soda and lemon juice. Gently rub onto the utensil, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Restoring a Rough Surface
If the wood becomes rough over time, lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper (600 grit or higher), then clean, dry, and reapply oil.
Mold Prevention
Always store in a dry, well-ventilated area. If surface mold appears, wipe with a solution of diluted vinegar and water, then dry completely before storing.
Conditioning & Maintenance
Nourish the Wood Regularly
Use a food-safe wood conditioner such as:
Food-grade mineral oil
Beeswax wood conditioner
Walnut oil (if no nut allergies)
Avoid cooking oils like olive oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil, as they can become rancid.
Recommended Oiling Schedule
Before first use
Once a month with
regular use
Whenever the wood appears dry, rough, or faded
How to Oil
Ensure the utensils are completely clean and dry.
Apply a small amount of oil with a soft cloth.
Rub evenly over the entire surface.
Allow the oil to absorb for 20–30 minutes.
Wipe away any excess with a clean cloth.
