Care Of Bamboo Cutlery

Bamboo cutlery can be cleaned with hot, soapy water like metal cutlery.

The natural way to clean cutlery is with vinegar. Add three tablespoons to one cup of water and wipe it off with a cloth afterwards. If a food odour persists, rub it down with a piece of lemon.

Bamboo cutlery is dishwasher safe.

Like other wood products in your kitchen, bamboo needs to be oiled periodically with olive oil or food-grade mineral oil. Food-grade mineral oil is available in most grocery stores. Just use a soft cloth to wipe your utensils with the oil. These days, most food contains oil, so this only needs to be done about every 2–3 months or when it feels dry.

To prolong your bamboo cutlery's life, avoid submerging it in water for an extended period.
