How to Care for Your Wooden Bowls

How to Care for Your Wooden Bowls

March 30, 2023

 

Keep your wooden bowls looking their best with these easy care tips! Learn how to clean, maintain, and protect your wooden bowls.

 

Wooden bowls are a beautiful and functional addition to any kitchen. However, they require  care to keep them looking their best and prevent damage. With these easy care tips, you can learn how to clean, maintain, and protect your wooden bowls.

 

Hand wash your wooden bowls.

To keep your wooden bowls in top condition, it’s important to hand wash them instead of putting them in the dishwasher. The high heat and harsh detergents in the dishwasher can damage the wood and cause it to crack or warp over time. Instead, use a mild dish soap and warm water to gently clean your wooden bowls.

 

Dry your wooden bowls thoroughly.

After washing your wooden bowls, it’s important to dry them thoroughly to prevent water damage. If possible use  a soft cloth to remove any excess water and then let them air dry completely before storing them. If you can avoid using a dish towel to dry your wooden bowls, as the fibres can leave behind lint and potentially scratch the surface of the wood. If you need to speed up the drying process, you can use a fan or place the bowls in a warm, dry area.

 

Oil your wooden bowls regularly.

To keep your wooden bowls looking their best, it’s important to oil them regularly. This helps to protect the wood from drying out and cracking, as well as preventing stains and discoloration. Use a food-safe oil, such as mineral oil or walnut oil, and apply a thin layer to the surface of the bowl using a soft cloth. Let the oil soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe away any excess with a clean cloth. Repeat this process every few months or as needed to keep your wooden bowls in top condition.

 

Store your wooden bowls properly.

Proper storage is key to keeping your wooden bowls in good condition. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or oven. This can cause the wood to dry out and crack. Instead, store your bowls in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard. You can also use a bowl stand or rack to keep them organized and prevent them from rolling around or getting scratched. With proper storage and care, your wooden bowls will last for years.
