Curious? We Got You.
Can I serve hot food or drinks on the tray, or will it freak out?
Yes you can! And no it won’t freak out! Bring on the chai- tea, soups, and piping hot pasta! Our lacquer coating is totally food-grade and heat-friendly — no meltdowns. Just don’t pop it in the oven or microwave (it’s still wood, not a superhero).
Can I actually serve food on the tray, or is it just for looking pretty?
Oh, it’s not just a pretty face! Yes, you can serve food on it — the lacquer we use is 100% food-grade. So go ahead, pile on the samosas, sushi, or cookies. Just remember: dry or slightly moist foods work best. Maybe skip the hot curry bath.
My lacquered tray looks a little dusty. Can I give it a bath?
Whoa! No spa days for lacquered wood. Just wipe it with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth – like you’re cleaning fancy sunglasses. No soaking, or scrubbing required – it is pretty low maintainence unlike Monica! (IYKYK).
How do I wash block print fabric? Will it throw a tantrum?
Great question! Block print fabric is a little old-school and loves gentle handling. Hand wash it separately in cold water with mild detergent – no harsh soaps or bleach, please. You can also use the hand- wash setting on your washing machine. And definitely no tumble dryers unless you want to give it a wild new personality. It’s artisanal, not adventurous.
Can I dry block print fabric in direct sunlight?
Only if you want your pretty prints to fade like your last relationship. Keep it shaded or line dry indoors to preserve those gorgeous colors. They are lightweight and will dry in a couple of hours.
How do I care for your regular wooden products?
Ah, our sturdy wooden wonders! They’re pretty chill. Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and they’ll stay loyal for years. Think of them as low-maintenance houseplants.
Can I just pour water straight into the vase?
Whoa there, easy does it! These beauties prefer a gentle touch. Always use a tumbler (or jug, or even your measuring cup) to fill water — no splashy direct pours, please. Your flowers will still feel fancy, promise.
