BrookeLynn's Home trays are beautiful and functional pieces, perfect for both serving and display. With proper care, your tray will maintain its finish and last for many years to come!

General Care & Cleaning:

• Hand Wash Only: We recommend hand washing all decorative and serving trays. Do not put them in the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the finish, warp the material, or cause cracks.
• Warm Water & Mild Soap: Use warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
• Soft Cloth or Sponge: Gently clean the tray's surface with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. For crevices, a soft brush can be used. Avoid using harsh scrubbers, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all soap residue from the tray.
• Dry Immediately: To prevent water spots, discoloration, or warping (especially with wood), dry the tray completely with a lint-free cloth after washing. Allow it to air dry for a few minutes before storing.

Handling & Display:

• Protect the Surface: Avoid placing sharp objects or hot pans directly on the tray's surface, as this can cause scratches or heat damage.
• Use Coasters: For serving drinks, we recommend using coasters on the tray to protect the finish from moisture rings.
• Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: Do not place a cold tray in a hot environment or vice versa, as this can cause some materials to warp or crack.
• Weight Limit: Do not overload the tray with heavy items. Ensure the weight is evenly distributed to prevent damage to the handles or surface.

Important Considerations:

• Material Specifics: Wood Trays: Periodically re-oil or wax with a food-safe product to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking. Lacquered or Painted Trays: Be extra gentle when cleaning to prevent scratching or chipping the finish.
• Not for Food (Unless Specified): Unless explicitly stated in the product description, our decorative trays are not intended for direct food contact. We recommend using food-safe liners or placing food in bowls/on plates before setting them on the tray.

By following these simple care instructions, your BrookeLynn's Home decorative and serving tray will continue to be a beautiful and useful part of your home decor.
