With proper care, we are confident that you will continue to enjoy our work for many years to come.
Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Do not soak in water. Dry immediately after washing. An occasional coat of our proprietary Artifaqt Balm or a similar beeswax and oil product will help the wood continue to repel moisture and increases the life of the product.
