How do I take 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.

 

The cutlery set is dishwasher safe.

 

Care- 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. 

What is the pouch made of?

We use 80% hemp, and 20% recycled cotton. Hemp cotton is more durable than regular cotton. Plus, it only uses 1/20 of the water used to grow and process regular cotton.
Hemp is far more sustainable than cotton, but you get a softer and more flexible material that extends the pouch life by combining the two.

• Machine washable
• 30°C to 40°C

What are the advantages of natural dyes?

• Completely biodegradable.
• Safer for the skin
• Easy on the Earth
• Creates beautiful colours
• No additional resources needed

Are they compostable?

Yes, cutlery, straw and pouch are compostable. The straw brush is recyclable.

Origami package. It's already a gift.

We cut down on standard packaging (box) and plastic wrap by 80%, and we believe we still have something sustainable and beautiful to present our products.

The packaging acts as a wrapping, offering a double-sided label space for a message, which removes the need for gift wrap.

When you purchase a product to keep, there is 80% less waste.
