T-Shirt Quilt and Charcuterie Board Care Tips

T-Shirt Quilt Care Tips

All the fabric in your quilt has been washed and put in the dryer prior to being assembled.  When you decide to wash it, here are a few tips:

• Wash in cold water on the gentle or delicate cycle.
• Wash with a Shout Color Catcher the first few times.  This will catch any dye from the shirts.
• Your quilt will be heavy when it is wet; you should support it throughout the drying process so it will not lose its shape or have thread break.
• You can put your quilt in the dryer for a few minutes on low to get the dying process started, but most of the drying should be done by natural air

     When folding your quilt, try not to fold it the same way all the time; this will help prevent creases and refrain from putting repetitive strain on the same threads.

 

Serving Board Care Tips

Your serving board is finished with a food safe hard wax finish that protects the wood from food and liquids.  We recommend wiping down the serving board with a damp clean cloth after use.  We do not recommend soaking in water, washing with dish detergent or washing in the dishwasher - this will strip the wax finish quickly.

In the event you do need to subject the board to a deep cleaning or over time it begins to lose its shine, the serving board can be easily rejuvenated by an application of an easily applied finish, such as Howards Butcher Block Finish or Odie’s Oil.  Both of these are commonly found at home improvement stores or online.

If your board contains epoxy, it is not designed to be used as a cutting board. The epoxy in its hardened state, while food safe, is prone to chipping if subjected to vigorous chopping with sharp knives.
