Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Secret Garden tin in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior with a damp, clean cloth and mild soapy water to remove any manufacturing dust.
- Care for the Bamboo Lid: The lid is not dishwasher-safe. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface and dry it immediately. Avoid soaking the lid in water to prevent the bamboo from warping or swelling.
- Exterior Care: Wipe the enamel exterior with a soft cloth to keep the illustrations looking vibrant. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the finish.
- Placement: Store away from direct heat sources, such as the back of a stove, to ensure the lid seal remains effective and the enamel finish is protected.
