Looking after charcuterie boards

For charcuterie boards, simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use and ensure they are thoroughly dried. Never place your wooden board in a dishwasher and avoid soaking it in water. To maintain its finish and nourish the wood, occasionally apply a food-safe wax (either plant based or beeswax). This simple routine will help preserve its beauty and give you years of use.

Maintaining decorative pieces and jewellery

Decorative pieces can be dusted with a soft, dry cloth, or a light mist of polish & buffing . Keep them away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight to prevent damage. It is also important to avoid exposing these items to excess moisture. For jewellery, store it in a dry place when not in use and avoid contact with water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals to protect its delicate finish.

Tips for lasting beauty

To ensure your Wearable Wood Galway items last even longer, occasionally nourish the wood with a mineral oil. This will help maintain its exquisite finish and keep it looking its best. With these simple tips, you can enjoy your handcrafted pieces for many years to come.
