FAQs

What are the dimensions of the kneeler?

How should I clean the waxed cotton apron?
Clean the apron by spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning to preserve the wax coating.
Can the tools be hung up?
Yes, each tool is equipped with a leather hanging strap for convenient storage.

Troubleshooting
Tools show signs of tarnishing or discoloration.
Clean the copper-finished stainless steel with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish specifically designed for copper or brass. Ensure the tools are dried thoroughly after each use.
Apron's water-repellent finish seems reduced.
The waxed cotton may need re-waxing. Use a specialized reproofing wax or bar, applying it evenly with a cloth and gently heating (e.g., with a hairdryer on a low setting) to allow the wax to penetrate the fabric.
Kneeler padding feels compressed after use.
Allow the kneeler to air out and regain its loft. Store it flat in a dry place between uses. If significant compression occurs, it may indicate the material has reached the end of its functional lifespan.
Leather straps on tools feel stiff.
Condition the leather straps with a small amount of leather conditioner to keep them supple. Apply sparingly and wipe off any excess.
