Wood Craft Maintenance Guide

Why Maintain Your Wooden Crafts?
Wood is a natural material that can dry out over time. Regular maintenance helps preserve its color, texture, and structural integrity, ensuring your crafts remain a cherished part of your home.

Steps for Maintaining Your Wooden Crafts

  1. Clean Gently:

    • Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  2. Polish or Oil Your Item:

    • Apply food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner for toys and functional items (like trays).
    • Use a soft cloth to rub the oil into the wood in the direction of the grain.

  3. Avoid Excess Moisture:

    • Never submerge wooden items in water. Wipe spills immediately to prevent stains or warping.

  4. Protect from Sunlight:

    • Keep items away from direct sunlight to avoid fading or cracking.

  5. Store in a Stable Environment:

    • Store wooden crafts in a cool, dry place with consistent humidity to prevent splitting.
