🪵 How to care for your wooden teething ring – naturally and easily!
A wooden teething ring is not only beautiful to look at, but also a durable and safe toy for your little one. Because it's made of natural beechwood, it requires a little more care and attention than, say, silicone. Fortunately, that's not complicated at all – and we're happy to show you how to keep your wooden teething ring in top condition. 🌿
✨ Why maintenance is important
Wood is a natural product. This means it can dry out or feel rough with frequent use and cleaning. With a little care, the wooden ring will remain smooth and safe for little mouths and hands.
🌱 Treat with coconut oil
The golden tip for wooden teething rings? 100% pure, natural coconut oil . This is completely safe for babies and nourishes the wood, leaving it nice and smooth and protected. Here's how:
-
Disassemble the teething ring. Treat the silicone beads and the wooden ring separately.
-
Apply a small amount of coconut oil. Use your fingertips or a soft cloth.
-
Let it soak in thoroughly. At least several hours, preferably overnight.
-
Wipe off any excess oil. This prevents a sticky residue.
💡 Tip: Give the wooden ring a service as soon as it feels dry.
💧 Cleaning the wooden ring
Never clean a wooden teething ring with water or in the dishwasher . This can damage the wood. What you should do:
-
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
-
Then let it dry immediately in the open air.
☀️ What you better not do
-
Do not boil or immerse in water.
-
Do not dry on a heater or in direct sunlight.
-
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
📌 Summary
With a little love, a wooden teething ring will last a long time. Keep it simple: wipe it regularly with a damp cloth and occasionally treat it with pure coconut oil. This way, the teething ring not only stays beautiful, but also safe and comfortable for your little one.
