Care Tips for Stainless Steel & Walnut Wood
How to Care for Your Manualroad Stainless Steel and Walnut Wood Products
Why Proper Care Matters
Caring for your Manualroad products preserves both their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. While stainless steel is strong and resistant to rust, it can develop stains if not cleaned promptly. Walnut wood, known for its rich tones, can dry out or lose luster without regular maintenance. By following these care tips, you’ll extend the life and beauty of your products.
How to Care for Stainless Steel Products
1. Clean Immediately After Use
Always wash stainless steel bowls, trays, and utensils right after use—especially if they’ve touched acidic foods like citrus or vinegar—to prevent staining.
2. Use Gentle Cleaning Agents
Wash with warm water and mild detergent using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Avoid steel wool or harsh chemicals that can scratch the finish.
3. Remove Stubborn Stains
Use a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Rub gently with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
4. Dry and Polish
Dry immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots. For extra shine, polish with a microfiber cloth in the direction of the grain.
How to Care for Walnut Wood Products
1. Regular Cleaning
Wipe walnut wood bases and handles with a damp cloth, then dry immediately. Never soak in water to avoid warping or cracking.
2. Oil the Wood
Apply food-safe mineral oil occasionally to maintain color and prevent dryness. Let the oil absorb, then wipe off any excess.
3. Avoid Extreme Conditions
Keep away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and high humidity to prevent fading or damage.
