Maintenance:

Ensuring Longevity and Aesthetics Taking care of your OHITSU is straightforward:

• Wood Resin Management: Natural resin can be gently removed using rubbing alcohol or slight sanding.
• Hand Wash Recommended: The product isn't dishwasher-compatible. Cleanse using lukewarm water, pat dry, and allow it to air-dry in a shaded area.
• Addressing Resin Exudation: If resin emerges, appearing yellow or sticky, don't be alarmed. It's a natural occurrence. Clean it using vinegar or sterilizing alcohol. Although some yellow remnants might persist, they won't harm the product's integrity.
• Post-Usage Care: To keep it pristine, rinse with hot water after each use. Ensure thorough draining, wipe it down, and let it dry in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
