Step 1: Initial decontamination
Soak a soft cloth with warm water (below 40°C) and gently wipe the surface of the bamboo mat to remove bamboo chips and floating ash left in the production. Be careful to avoid using hard-bristled brushes to avoid scratching the mat surface.
Step 2: Deodorize deeply
Lay the bamboo mat flat in a ventilated place, spray diluted white vinegar and water (ratio 1:3), let it sit for 10 minutes and then wipe it with clean water. If the odor is severe, you can wipe it with a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda.
Step 3: Disinfection and Sterilization
It is recommended to use 75% alcohol cotton pads for local disinfection, or to use ultraviolet light for 30 minutes (at a distance of more than 1 meter). Do not wash directly with boiling water, as this may cause the bamboo slices to crack.
