Hot, acidic, or carbonated beverages should not be poured into a drinking horn, as these can damage the seal. Contact with salt, alkalis, or harsh cleaning agents should also be avoided. To prevent cracking, the following points should be observed for storage and care: - Store the horn in a dry place and avoid direct sunlight, frost, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- After use and cleaning, allow the horn to dry completely upside down to prevent stress cracks.
- Do not leave the material in contact with moisture for extended periods (do not soak) and never clean it in a dishwasher.
- Occasionally treat the exterior with vegetable oil (e.g., linseed oil or olive oil) to keep the material supple.
