Care
This item is meant to be used for bathing and highly resistant to humidity. However we recommend to let this item air-dried completely after use, occasionally turning upside down.
If you leave the bowl unused for long time, the copper hoops can get loose. It is because the natural wood can shrink when very dry and lost natural moisture. If this happened, put the hoops back onto the place and leave the bowl filled with water in full overnight. The wood will regain its moisture and naturally expand.
