CARE INSTRUCTIONS
WOOD
When wood gets wet it swells and when it dries it shrinks. For this reason you shouldn't put any wooden pieces in the dishwasher or leave them to soak in water as it can lead to warping and cracking.
If a piece gets dirty it can be patted dry with a slightly damp cloth. Once you have done this it should be left to air dry. If a piece gets wax on it this can be carefully picked off. If a piece becomes scratched or dented you can rub along the grain line with very fine sand paper. You may then want to give the piece a thin coat of oil. You can use linseed oil, flax seed oil or coconut oil, all of which are readily available. You can put this on with a small brush and pat off excess with a smooth cloth or absorbent paper.

CERAMICS
All ceramics are food safe unless otherwise stated.
Although stoneware is oven, dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe I would recommend not using these ceramics in the oven, dishwasher, microwave or freezer. This is because I cannot guarantee that the glaze will remain unaffected by extreme heat or cold.
Avoid soaking any unglazed part of your ceramics. Exposure to water for any extended period of time can start to break down stoneware and makes it more susceptible to cracking or chipping. Avoid using scourers when washing your ceramics as this can scratch the glazed surface. A paste of vinegar and baking soda, applied with a damp cloth, can help remove tough stains.
