IV/ BAMBOO CARE:
 
By following a few simple precautions, you can enjoy the beauty of your Bamboo products for many years. Here are a few general instructions to assist you in maintaining the beauty and quality of Bamboo products.
 
1. Keep products out of direct sunlight and away from extreme heat. Ultraviolet light and extreme heat will fade the surface of the products and allow fine cracks to form. Once light or heat damage has occurred, other kinds of deterioration can happen as well, and the beauty and life-span of your products will be reduced.

 
2. Do not stack on top of other bamboo products.

 
3. Do not put hard & sharp objects onto the products like knives or forks. Do not put heavy objects onto the products. Otherwise, your products may get scratched or cracked.

 
4. Do not soak,  put water into or place your bamboo products in wet places for a long time.

 
5. Do not use any chemicals to clean your lacquerware products. Instead, use a dry or damp & soft cloth to gently wipe it down. This should be done routinely as dirt or moisture may build up if your products are used often. After using your lacquerware with food, you can clean with mild soap and warm water, then rinse and then gently wipe with soft cloth and finally dry them immediately after cleaning.

 
6. Do not insert into dish washers, eletrical ovens or micro ovens.

 
7. Your Bamboo products are susceptible to damage from very dry conditions or fluctuating humidity. A a balanced climate that is between 60% and 70 % humidity is recommended to store your Bamboo products in order to ensure long life.
