- The real lacquer coating has an antibacterial effect and is easy to remove oil, so it can be easily removed by simply wiping it with water. When using a sponge, use a soft surface.
To reduce friction as much as possible, it is taboo to wash and wipe several sets together.
- do not soak
- Do not soak in water for a long time after eating, as it may damage the wood.
- Do not put in the dishwasher
- Dishwashers tend to use 40-50 degree water for the initial wash and around 80 degree water for the final wash. Lacquerware is not only vulnerable to hot water, but also has the disadvantage of being easily rubbed off by the running water. When putting chopsticks in the dishwasher, make sure to only use dishwasher-safe products.
