To preserve the characteristic grain and quality of your handcrafted olive wood ladle for years to come, please follow these care instructions: - Clean the product exclusively by hand with lukewarm water and a mild dish soap.
- Absolutely avoid cleaning it in the dishwasher or soaking it in water for extended periods, as this can cause the wood to crack or swell.
- After rinsing, dry the ladle thoroughly with a cloth immediately and allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a cupboard.
- Regularly (approximately every 2 to 4 weeks), rub the wood with a little cooking oil, ideally olive oil. This prevents it from drying out, protects the surface, and brings out the natural grain beautifully.
- Protect the wood from extreme temperatures, direct heat (e.g., from stovetops), and intense sunlight.
