How to Properly Care for Wooden Utensils
With a little care, your wooden utensils can last for years. Here are some tips:
Wash by Hand: Use mild soap and lukewarm water. Scrub gently to remove food particles without damaging the wood.
Avoid Soaking: Clean quickly and avoid leaving utensils in standing water.
Dry Immediately: After washing, dry the utensils thoroughly with a towel. Leaving them to air dry can cause moisture retention.
Condition Regularly: Apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking.
