CARING FOR YOUR WOODEN ITEMS
These wooden items have been handcrafted and are waxed with food-grade bee's wax. To keep your wood looking its best:

• Do not leave submerged in water - a dunk and play is ok - Left in water over a long period of time will cause the wood to be damaged.
• Dry with a tea towel after getting wet
• Then keep it beautiful with a rub of bee's wax or vegetable oil into the wood to avoid the fibres lifting.
• Only use mild dishwashing detergent if needed
• Never put wood in the dishwasher
