| My salad bowl has become really sticky on the outside and I have tried to clean it without success. It is engraved and wondering if maybe there is varnish on it and this is causing the stickiness. Any ideas please? Thank you. |

| I use a mix of white vinegar and olive oil to clean my kitchen table and it gets off stuff I didn't even know was there! I've seen different ratio's but I've found that 3 parts vinegar to one part oil works best for me. The vinegar cleans and the oil conditions the wood. |

| the stickiness most likely is caused by partially oxidized oils from the dressing you have used. A cleaner like 409 and a plastic scrubber will remove it....but don't do that if the bowl is varnished. In that case try just dish soap and lots and lots of elbow grease. Linda C |

| Hot water, dish soap and elbow grease, but don't let it soak in water-the wood will warp. Good luck! |
