How to Clean Bamboo Kitchen Utensils

Bamboo plants are known for how quickly they grow and how little care they need. They are also extremely strong, which makes them perfect for creating such items as kitchen utensils. Bamboo utensils are more expensive than regular utensils, but they are completely organic. Bamboo utensils have the additional benefit of not splintering, so they remain smooth to the touch. They are also stain resistant.

Things You'll Need

• Dish pan
• Dish soap
• Washcloth
• Towel
• Bamboo cutting board oil

Instructions

1. Fill a dish pan with hot water and a spoonful of dish soap.

2. Set the bamboo utensils in the pan, and wipe them clean with a dishrag.

3. Rinse the soap off the bamboo utensils under a stream of warm water. Set the kitchen utensils in a dish rack to drain off excess water.

4. Dry the bamboo utensils with a clean dish towel.

5. Wipe down your bamboo utensils once per week with oil made for bamboo cutting boards to keep them looking like new.
