Care Instructions
Because these are made from natural, porous materials, they require a little extra love to keep them looking pristine:
-
Wipe Clean Only: Use a slightly damp cloth to remove spills or condensation. Never submerge them in water or put them in the dishwasher.
-
Dry Immediately: If they get wet from a cold drink, wipe them dry with a soft towel to prevent the wood from warping.
-
Oil Seasoning: Every few months, rub a tiny amount of food-grade coconut oil or mineral oil into the wood. This keeps the coconut fibers hydrated and the bone inlays shining.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to harsh sun can cause the coconut wood to fade or develop small cracks.
