However, after the wooden knives and knives have been baptized in the years, the pale brown luster will gradually fade, and it may be deformed and moldy due to improper preservation and cleaning.
Generally, wooden knives and forks can be divided into two types: painted and unpainted. Applying a layer of paint can prevent the wood from being invaded by external materials. It is also convenient to maintain and use, but pay attention to the type of raw materials for surface painting.
As for the knife and fork that advertises 100% logs and no artificial coating, the biggest drawback is the fear of water. The wood itself has pores that are invisible to the naked eye. The moisture, dirt, and grease on the outside can easily penetrate into it. If it is not dried after washing, it will easily cause woody wood to rot. Since wooden knives and forks are so afraid of water, if the used knives and forks are not dirty or oily, they should not be washed.
This concept is wrong. Even if it is not dirty or oily, if the food residue that is invisible to the naked eye is not thoroughly cleaned, it is easy to attract insects and cockroaches.

It is best not to soak for too long when washing. To soften the food residue stuck on the knife and fork, the soaking time is preferably controlled for 5 to 10 minutes. The wood is soaked for too long, prone to spoilage and mildew.

3. Wash and dry in a dry and cool place
After washing the knife and fork, it is best to dry the water immediately or place it in a dry and cool place. Be careful not to place it in a place with high temperature or moisture, such as a refrigerator, a water dispenser, or a rice cooker; it is not recommended to expose it directly. If the temperature is too high or the moisture is too heavy, it will easily crack, deform and breed bacteria. You can also turn off the power by slightly heating the oven for 5 minutes, and use the remaining temperature to quickly dry the wood knife and fork.

The knife and fork have been used for a long time and you should never use alcohol. High-concentration alcohol will destroy the surface coating of wood. If you want to sterilize, use 50~60°C warm water to soak it, which is a bit hot but can still beat the heat. The hot temperature is not recommended.
Even if properly cleaned and stored, wooden knives and forks have a certain period of use. The knife and fork have been used for a long time.
