Wooden Drawer Organizer For Utensils

Can I put the wooden utensil organizer in the dishwasher?

No, you should NEVER put wooden or bamboo utensil organizers in the dishwasher.

Here's the clear, professional answer you can give customers:

Why not?

The correct way to clean:

• Wipe with a soft damp cloth
• Use mild soap for light stains
• Dry immediately with a clean cloth
• Air dry in a ventilated area
