Aftercare Guide.

DO Not  wash in dishwasher

Charcuterie/Serving Boards:

Hand Wash Only

Carefully hand wash the boards with warm, soapy water after each use. Gently scrub any residue, and pay special attention to crevices or edges where food particles may accumulate.

Drying

Thoroughly dry the boards with a clean, dry cloth or allow them to air-dry completely before storage. This helps prevent the growth of mold or mildew and maintains the board's structural integrity.

Avoid Soaking

Refrain from soaking the boards in water for extended periods, as prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to warping or damage. Clean promptly after use and dry thoroughly.

Beeswax Butter Maintenance

Periodically apply a thin layer of Beeswax Butter, available from Takahe Studio, to maintain the boards' quality and enhance their natural beauty. This helps in nourishing the wood and protecting it from environmental factors.

Avoid Extreme Conditions

Protect the boards from extreme heat or direct sunlight, which may cause the wood to dry out or warp. Store the boards in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure their longevity.

Furniture Surfaces

Cleaning

Gently wipe down furniture surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to effectively remove dust or spills. Avoid using excessive water to prevent saturation of the wood.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners

Refrain from using harsh or abrasive cleaners, as they may compromise the integrity of the Whittle Wax Evolution Hardwax Classic finish. Opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions for best results.

Water Resistance

While the finish provides water resistance, it's advisable to clean up spills promptly using a slightly damp cloth to prevent any potential water damage. Always blot, don't rub, to maintain the finish.

Breathability

Ensure proper ventilation in the room to uphold the breathable nature of the finish. Adequate airflow helps in regulating moisture and preserving the quality of the wood.

Periodic Maintenance

To preserve the silky finish, periodically buff the furniture surfaces with a soft cloth. Use gentle, circular motions during buffing to avoid scratches or damage to the finish.
