Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty and intricate detail of your camel bone salt and pepper shakers:
- Hand Wash Only: Gently wipe the bone surface with a soft, damp cloth.

- Air Dry Thoroughly: Ensure they are completely dry before refilling or storing to prevent any moisture-related issues.
- No Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or chemicals, as these can strip the finish and patterns.
- Wood Maintenance: Periodically, you may apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the wooden tops to keep them nourished and prevent drying out.
