Cleaning spice jars with wooden lids requires careful attention to prevent damage to the wood. Wooden lids can warp, crack, or absorb moisture if not handled properly. This article provides a detailed method for effectively cleaning spice jars while preserving the integrity of their wooden lids.

Materials Needed

• Microfiber cloths

Cleaning Process

Step 1: Remove Lids

Carefully remove the wooden lids from all spice jars. Set the wooden lids aside and proceed with cleaning the glass jars first.

Step 2: Clean Glass Jars

1. Wash the glass jars using warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives that may scratch the surface.
2. Rinse the jars thoroughly under running water to remove any soap residue.
3. Dry the jars with a lint-free towel.

Step 3: Clean Wooden Lids

1. Prepare a cleaning solution using equal parts water and white vinegar.
2. Dip a microfiber cloth into the solution and wring out excess liquid.
3. Gently wipe down each wooden lid, taking care not to saturate the wood.
4. Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
5. To condition the wood, lightly rub a small amount of olive oil onto the lids, then buff with a clean cloth.
