Care & Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your wooden bowl, follow these care guidelines:

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and maintain the natural finish.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can fade the wood's natural color over time.
• Keep away from heat sources, extreme temperature changes, and humid environments, which can cause warping or cracking.
• Hand wash only using mild soap and warm water, then gently pat dry immediately with a towel and let air dry; never let it soak in water or place in a dishwasher.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and scouring pads that can damage the finish.
• Condition periodically, when it starts to look and feel dry, by applying food-grade mineral oil or beeswax with a clean, soft cloth to nourish the wood, maintain its luster, and prevent cracking.

With proper care, your MiCreations wooden product can remain a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
