Correct care is important to ensure a long life for your horn items. Even though horn is a hard and beautiful material, blessed by Mother Nature with amazing colours and patterns, it can be damaged by water, heat, and soap.
How to care for horn items:
– Clean your horn items in lukewarm running water without soap or solvents. Dry off the items directly.
– Never clean horn items in a dish washer.
– Never soak horn item in a tub. You may dip the items in cold or lukewarm water, but no more than that. Dry off the items directly. Never use hot water.
– Never allow your horn items to sit for prolonged periods in fluids, e.g. jams, salads, or dressings.
– Avoid leaving horn items in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
– Old heirloom horn items like old tablespoons etc. should be given a light coating of oil from time to time to prevent them from drying out.
