Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure your olive wood boards last a lifetime. Follow these guidelines to maintain their beauty and functionality.
General Guidelines
- Hand-Wash Only: Use hot, lightly soapy water for cleaning.
- Hand-Dry Immediately: Prevent swelling or warping by drying your items promptly after washing.
Olive Wood
- Avoid Dishwasher Use: The heat and drying process in dishwashers can cause the wood to crack.
- Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Do not leave wood items sitting in water, as it raises the grain, causing swelling and potential cracking.
- Ensure Complete Dryness: Make sure the wood is completely dry after washing to prevent damage.
Treatment and Maintenance
- Regular Oiling: Treat the wood with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and to enhance the natural grain and colour.
- Apply a small amount of oil with a kitchen towel or lint-free cloth.
- Frequency of oiling depends on usage:
- Regular Use: Oil once a week.
- Occasional Use: Oil after each use.
- Decorative Use: Oil at least once a month to maintain a smooth shine.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your olive, acacia, and marble items in excellent condition for years to come.
