Wipe out crumbs after each use. Never store bread while the box is damp to prevent mold.
Place the box away from heat and sunlight to maintain bread freshness and prevent material warping.
For wood and bamboo, wipe with a mild vinegar solution. Metal parts can be washed with soapy water and dried immediately.
Our evaluation showed that a bread box's material is the biggest factor in keeping bread fresh-wood and bamboo naturally regulate humidity better than metal alone.
For best results, store bread cut-side down on the lid or a separate board, not directly on the box bottom. This prevents the crust from softening too quickly.
