Cleaning: Use a mild soap and warm water to clean the masala dabba. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can damage the metal and the decorative designs. After washing, be sure to dry the masala dabba thoroughly before refilling it with spices.
We also recommend using a cleaning paste on the outside of the tin to keep its shine. You will get great results from mothers mag and aluminum polish, simichrome polish or flitz polish paste.
However, if you prefer an aged look you can use something more natural like coconut oil to clean the outside of the tin.
Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that can scratch the metal and remove the decorative designs.
Storage: Store your masala dabba in a dry and cool place to prevent rusting and moisture buildup. It is also recommended to use the masala dabba frequently to prevent the spices from losing their flavor and aroma.
