Hinoki Bath Bucket

■Material: Hinoki cypress [Hoops] Polypropylene [Other] Plastic ■Size: Approx. 23cm diameter ■Color: Unpainted ■Country/Region of Origin: Japan Product Notes ・Upon arrival, new products may exude natural resin (sap) characteristic of the material, which is harmless. ・After use, wash off dirt and dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. ・Resin is proof the wood is alive and is harmless. Higher resin content increases resistance to water/acid, contains natural antibacterial components, and enhances durability. ・It will settle with use, but if bothersome, wiping with ethanol or light sanding can reduce stickiness. Resin stains cannot be removed but are not problematic. ・Wood may develop stains or slight stickiness, which diminishes with use. ・Leaving in damp areas like bathrooms accelerates black stains/mold. ・Using strong alkaline cleaners/bleach may cause "alkali contamination," producing mold-like black stains. Avoid such products. ・As natural wood, individual variations exist in knots, grain, logo shading, etc. Minor splinters or surface finish irregularities may occur. ・Being natural material, cracks may develop during use. ・Colors may appear different on-screen versus actual product.
