Product Care Instructions
Hardwood Cutting Boards
Daily Care:
- Clean after each use: Wipe off food debris and wash with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
- Avoid soaking: Never submerge in water or put in the dishwasher—this causes warping or cracking.
- Dry thoroughly: Pat dry with a towel and stand it upright to air dry completely.
Deep Cleaning & Maintenance:
- Sanitise occasionally: Use a solution of 1 tbsp white vinegar to 1 cup water or wipe with diluted hydrogen peroxide.
- Deodorise: Rub with coarse salt and half a lemon, let sit 5 minutes, and rinse.
- Oil monthly: Use food-grade mineral oil (or beeswax-based cream) to prevent drying and cracking. Apply a generous coat, let sit overnight, then wipe off excess.
General Candle Holder Care Tips
Remove Wax Residue:
- Freeze Method: Place the holder in the freezer for a few hours. Hardened wax will shrink and pop out easily.
- Warm Water Method: Soak in warm (not boiling) water to soften wax, then scrape gently with a plastic utensil.
- Hair Dryer: Use gentle heat to melt wax and wipe it away with paper towels.
Avoid Open Flame Contact:
- Always trim wicks to ¼ inch to reduce excessive flame or soot.
- Use candles in proper size and type for the holder to avoid overheating or breakage.
!!!Never Leave Burning Candles Unattended!!!
🪵 Care Instructions for Oil & Beeswax Finished Wood Products
✅ Daily Cleaning
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.
- Mild soap only if needed, and rinse quickly—avoid soaking or scrubbing aggressively.
- Dry immediately with a towel to prevent water damage or warping.
❌ Avoid
- Dishwashers – the heat, water, and detergent will strip the finish and damage the wood.
- Soaking in water or letting sit wet.
- Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which remove the protective oil/wax layer.
🧴 Regular Maintenance
To keep the wood nourished and protected:
🌿 Reapply Oil & Beeswax Finish
- Frequency: Every 3–6 weeks, or when the wood looks dry or dull.
- How to apply:
1. Clean and let dry completely.
2. Rub a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil and/or beeswax finish into the wood using a lint-free cloth.
3. Let sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Buff off any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
You can buy a premade beeswax and oil conditioner or make your own by melting beeswax into mineral or coconut oil.
🌡️ Storage Tips
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat vents or direct sunlight.
- Keep out of extreme humidity to avoid swelling or cracking.
⚠️ Signs It’s Time to Refinish:
- The surface feels rough or dry.
- Water no longer beads on the surface.
- Colour looks faded or uneven.
