There may be a strong wood smell when first opened. Please wash your new bento box before first use. The smell will eventually fade.
If the smell still bothers, you can take the following steps to remove it.
- Save the run-off water from washing rice, warm it up, and add a little cooking vinegar to it (can use normal water as an alternative). Use this to rinse and wipe the bento box. Then wash off with warm water. Repeat several times. Make sure to wipe and air dry after the process.
Washing
- Rinse off any food first with water (warm water if possible). Do not soak in water.
- Use household dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge to wash the box. Do not scrub hard. Do not use bleach or other chemicals.
- Rinse with warm water if possible to assist air drying.
- Wipe off water as much as possible, and air dry with the box/lid facing up.
- Do not leave in sunlight, or near hot objects.

- **Always make sure to wipe dry with a soft towel after washing, and air dry.**
