Care Information.

Cedar has natural anti bacterial qualities, if washing required use water or warm water and wipe immediately.  Do not use detergent. Dry in upright position to air dry completely. 

Do not store the container upside down. If the container is not sufficiently dry, it may cause discolouration.

Avoid long periods of exposure to direct sun or other heat source to prevent discolouration and deformation.

As the finish is raw, do not place anything greasy or highly pigmented foods to avoid staining surface.
