Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the plate and the surface (table or high chair tray) are clean and dry.
- Place the plate on the desired surface.
- Press down firmly on the center of the plate to engage the suction.
Compatibility:
The suction base works best on smooth, non-porous, and flat surfaces such as sealed wood, laminate, plastic, and glass. It may not adhere effectively to highly textured, uneven, or porous surfaces like unfinished wood or some fabric placemats.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Wash the plate with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can damage the bamboo surface.
- Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not leave to air dry for extended periods, as this can lead to moisture absorption.
- Monthly Oiling: To maintain the bamboo's condition and prevent drying, wipe the plate down once a month with a small amount of food-grade coconut oil or beeswax. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess.
- Avoid Dishwasher and Microwave: Do not place the plate in a dishwasher or microwave, as high heat can warp or damage the bamboo and compromise the suction.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the plate in water for long periods.
