Aftercare

Boxes, Indoor Gifts, Non-kitchenware

Non-kitchenware items such as Jewellery Boxes, Gift Boxes, Notelet Stands, Pencil Boxes, etc are finished in a Carnauba Wax or Beeswax top coat.

If need be, re-polish using a good quality wax such as beeswax. Do not use household furniture polish or any other sprays or liquids as these may damage the finish.

Kitchenware

All kitchenware is treated with a food-safe pure Tung Oil* and may be cleaned in a similar manner to any other tabletop, using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse in water.

Kitchenware can be sanitised after cleaning with a dilute bleach solution (1 teaspoon of bleach per litre of water) applied sparingly with a cloth.  Treat regularly with a light coating of food grade  oil, such as Tung Oil or Mineral Oil.

*NUT ALLERGIES

Kitchenware is treated with Pure Tung Oil, which  is derived from the seed of the Tung Tree, which belongs to a different botanical family than peanuts, cashews, and pistachios. There is some debate about whether Tung Oil comes from a seed or a nut. While it is possible for someone to be allergic to Tung Oil, it is not commonly associated with other nut allergies and is unlikely to cause a reaction in individuals with peanut or tree nut allergies.
