- Cleaning: Gently clean with a soft cloth or sponge using mild dish soap, then immediately dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Moisture: Never submerge or soak turned wood in water, as this causes warping and damage.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply food-safe mineral oil, beeswax, or wood conditioner. Apply oil liberally and let it soak into the wood to prevent dryness. Let it soak in for 10 minutes and wipe off excess
- Daily Care: For bowls and boards, apply cutting board oil, tung oil or similar wax when the wood appears dull or dry.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight, high heat, and moisture to avoid warping or cracking.
- Surface Care: If the wood feels rough or raises a grain, lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper, then re-oil the area.
Do Not Use: Vegetable or olive oil, which can go rancid and promote bacteria growth.
