After cleaning, the drinking horn should be thoroughly dried and then left to air dry completely with the opening facing downwards (upside down). If it has an unpleasant odor, denture cleaning tablets (e.g., Kukident or Corega Tabs) can help, as these neutralize odors and gently clean the material. Alternatively, if the seal is damaged, the inner surface can be resealed with food-safe clear varnish or beeswax.
