To keep your bamboo spoon beautiful, hygienic, and ensure its longevity, please follow these simple steps:

1. Hand Wash Only: Wash your spoon promptly after use with warm water and mild soap.
2. Do Not Soak: Avoid soaking the spoon in water for extended periods, as this can cause cracking or warping.
3. Towel Dry: Use a clean cloth to thoroughly dry the spoon after washing.
4. Air Dry: Allow the spoon to air dry fully in a well-ventilated area before storing. Avoid direct strong sunlight.
5. Store Properly: Keep the spoon in a dry place to prevent mold and mildew.
6. Avoid High Heat: Do not use the spoon in a microwave, oven, or dishwasher. Keep away from direct heat sources.
7. Condition Occasionally: To maintain its natural shine and prevent drying out, periodically rub the spoon with a food-safe oil (like coconut oil or food-grade mineral oil). Let it absorb for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
