Setting Up and Using Your Bamboo Serving Tray

Your bamboo serving tray is ready to use right out of the box. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth before first use. Avoid submerging it in water, as this can damage the bamboo. To enhance the tray’s natural beauty, you can occasionally apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil.

Caring for Your Bamboo Serving Tray and Rattan Brush Pot

To keep your set looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the tray with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. For the rattan brush pot, dust regularly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the natural fibers.
