How do I care for Olive Wood?Olive Wood is known to last for a very long time under proper care. To get the most of out of your new wooden friend, we recommend abiding by the following: - Clean after use with mild detergent - Hand wash only (avoid the dishwasher) - Avoid soaking in water for long periods of time, as this will cause swelling & eventually cracking (careful of the lazy flatmate) - Fully dry utensil before storing - Some stains or minor discolourations may occur, but can easily be removed by gently rubbing with fine-grained sandpaper - Oil the surface occasionally, olive oil works best
