In addition to furniture, people also like to use wooden tableware. Wooden tableware is also very popular among many people. Wooden tableware looks good, but due to the material, it requires careful cleaning and maintenance. Below, we will show you how to clean and maintain wooden tableware.
Precautions for using wooden tableware
- 1. When placing fried food, place a layer of absorbent paper on top to avoid direct contact with wood, which helps extend the service life of the tableware.
- 2. Don’t pack food that is prone to staining. Pigments that penetrate into the fine pores of wood are difficult to clean and can easily leave marks on the edges of tableware.
- 3. Never put it in the microwave because it contains moisture. When heated at high temperatures in the microwave, the internal moisture content of the tableware is uneven, which can easily deform or even crack
- 4. When purchasing, pay attention to choosing branded merchants. If you choose inferior wooden bowls, the manufacturer will have to paint them to cover their clumsiness, which will actually cause harm to the person using them. Because the wood used for inferior wooden tableware may not be good and may cause harm to the body after use
- 5. It’s best not to put it in the refrigerator. Use wooden tableware to hold endless food. It’s best to change the container for the endless food and then put it in the refrigerator, such as glass or ceramics. The refrigerator itself absorbs water, and if wooden tableware is left in the refrigerator for a long time, it can easily deform even if the interior is too large
How to clean and maintain wooden tableware
- 1. Cannot soak
Generally, we are accustomed to immersing our kitchen utensils in water to make it easier to remove grease. But wooden kitchen utensils cannot be treated like this. They must be cleaned and dried immediately so that water does not seep into them and shorten their service life. - 2. Cleaning should be gentle
Wooden tableware is different from ceramic tableware. Even vegetable cloth may damage the surface coating and scratch the wood, making it easier for dirt to stick to the pores - 3. Do not put it in a closed cabinet when not in use
After washing and airing, it is best to place the tableware in a ventilated and cool place, and it is not recommended to directly put it in a closed cabinet. Otherwise, in high air humidity, especially during the rainy season, wooden tableware placed in a closed cabinet can easily absorb moisture from the air and become moldy if not used for a long time
Wooden tableware is beautiful and not afraid of falling, making it very suitable for children to use. However, we should be careful not to put it in the microwave or refrigerator when using it. For the cleaning and maintenance methods of wooden tableware, I have already listed them above, and you can refer to them.
