Troubleshooting
Chopsticks feel slightly slippery when handling new
The surface coating is designed to be smooth; however, if they feel slippery, ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing as residual moisture can affect the grip.
Visible wear on the tips
Repeated use and contact with teeth or abrasive surfaces can wear the finish. While cosmetic, if the wood underneath becomes exposed, hand wash them more gently to maintain the wood integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These chopsticks are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. No special setup is required. While the product is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to place them in the top rack of your dishwasher to prolong the life of the urethane coating. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads during manual cleaning, as this can degrade the finish over time. Store in a dry, cool place to ensure the wood remains in peak condition for as long as possible.
