Care instructions
Please give the steel bowl a quick wash before first use.
Steel bowl is dishwasher safe. Simply lift it out of the buel and wash.
Your buel is fussy and cannot go in the dishwasher. If required, your buel can be handwashed with lukewarm soapy water.
Your buel has a coating of organic natural beeswax inside the water reservoir. Please do not scrape this coating or use hot water on it.
Only fill your buel with cold tap water.
Store below 40deg C and keep out of direct sunlight.
From time to time, particularly after you may have washed your buel, we recommend giving the outer shell a quick wipe over with olive oil. This will restore the deep lustre of your buel bowl. Simply pour a small quantity of olive oil on a clean, lint free cloth, then wipe off the excess with a different cloth.
____
Your buel bowl should provide many, many, ant-free meals for your loved ones.
Happy pets, hungry ants!
