Care
Hinoki wood products are left uncoated to highlight their natural beauty, unique grain, and distinct fragrance. Regular care is essential to prevent mold and stains, especially when used in humid areas. With proper maintenance, you can enjoy the lasting charm of your Hinoki products for years.
• When washing, rinse with lukewarm water using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads as they may cause fine scratches.
• If using detergent, choose a mild or neutral one. Harsh detergents can cause black stains and discoloration.
• After washing, wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth and allow the Hinoki to air dry in a well-ventilated, low-humidity area.
• Avoid exposing Hinoki to high temperatures or direct sunlight as this can cause cracking and warping.
• For tough stains, gently sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper.
• Hinoki's resin may surface, resulting in stickiness. If bothersome, clean with a neutral detergent or rubbing alcohol.
Important Note:
If you notice the bath mat starting to warp, wet both sides and stand it upright in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight. This will reduce warping as both sides dry evenly.
