4. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your wooden utensils.
4.1 Cleaning
- Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your wooden utensils with mild soap and warm water.
- Avoid Dishwashers: Do not place wooden utensils in a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can cause warping, cracking, or splintering.
- Do Not Soak: Avoid soaking the utensils in water for prolonged periods.
4.2 Drying and Storage
- Immediate Drying: After washing, dry the utensils immediately and thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Proper Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or excessive humidity.
4.3 Conditioning
- Regular Oiling: Periodically (e.g., once a month or as needed), apply a food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to the wood. This helps to moisturize the wood, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its natural luster.
- Application: Apply a small amount of oil with a clean cloth, let it soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.

5. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wood appears dry or dull | Lack of conditioning; exposure to dry air | Apply food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to recondition the wood. |
| Utensils develop cracks | Prolonged soaking in water; extreme temperature changes; improper drying | Ensure proper drying immediately after washing. Avoid soaking. If cracks are severe, discontinue use. |
| Stains or discoloration | Exposure to highly pigmented foods | Wash immediately after use. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied, then rinsed and dried. |
