Insulated Drinkware
- Don't use in dishwasher
- Wipe outside of tumbler/bottle with a damp, soapy rag to clean. If your drinkware needs a soak, fill it up with hot, soapy water and sit on the counter. Soaking in a sink will shorten the life of your design, especially color UV-printed items.
- Don't use bleach or products containing chlorine. While our products are made of high-quality stainless steel, even stainless steel will rust/pit/discolor when exposed to chlorine.
- Handle with care. Do not drop.

Canvas Artwork

Leatherette Care
-
-
Regular Cleaning:Wipe down leatherette surfaces regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
-
Spills:Act quickly to blot up spills with a clean, absorbent cloth to prevent stains from setting in.
-
Mild Cleaning:Use a mild soap solution or a specialized leatherette cleaner, if needed, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
-
Avoid Over-Saturating:Do not over-saturate the area, as this can lead to excess moisture.
Maintenance:- Conditioning: Apply a leatherette conditioner regularly (monthly or as needed) to protect against UV rays, shrinking, and cracking.
-
Protect from Heat and Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat, as this can cause the material to dry out and crack.
- Avoid Water and Heat: Leatherette is vulnerable to excessive water and heat exposure. Don't submerge the seat covers in water or apply heat for drying.
-
Air Dry: Allow leatherette items to air dry after cleaning, rather than using a dryer or heat source.

Cutting Boards
-
To properly care for a wooden cutting board, wash it with warm, soapy water, dry it thoroughly, and then oil it regularly with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the care process:1. Cleaning your cutting board:
-
Wash: After each use, wash the cutting board with warm, soapy water, using a sponge or brush to scrub away food particles and grime.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap residue.
- Dry: Immediately dry the cutting board with a clean towel, ensuring both sides are completely dry.
- Don't Soak: Avoid soaking the board in water, as this can cause warping and cracking.
-
Avoid Dishwasher: Never put a wooden cutting board in the dishwasher, as the high heat and water can damage the wood.
2. Oiling your cutting board:
Purpose:Regular oiling helps to moisturize the wood, preventing it from drying out and cracking, and also creates a barrier that helps repel food particles and liquids.Frequency:Oil your cutting board regularly, at least once a month, or more often if you use it frequently.Type of Oil:Use food-safe mineral oil, butcher block oil, or a similar product designed for wood cutting boards.Application:Apply a generous layer of oil to both sides of the board, as well as the edges and any grooves or handles.Absorption:Allow the oil to soak into the wood for several hours, or even overnight, then wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth.
3. Cutting Board Deep Cleaning (if needed):
Salt and Lemon:For stubborn stains or odors, sprinkle salt on the board and rub it with a lemon half, then rinse and dry.Baking Soda Paste:For a deeper clean, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the board, scrub, rinse, and dry.Vinegar:You can also use a solution of white vinegar and water to clean the board, then rinse and dry.4. Storage:
Air Dry:Allow the cutting board to air dry completely after washing, either standing it upright or hanging it on a hook.Store Dry:Store the cutting board in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.Avoid Stacking:Don't stack other items on top of the cutting board, as this can trap moisture and cause mold to grow.5.
