Your Vijaysar wooden tumbler is handcrafted from genuine Vijaysar heartwood (Pterocarpus marsupium) — a dense, naturally resilient wood treasured in traditional wellness practices. With a little care, it will serve you beautifully for years to come.
Daily Cleaning
After each use, rinse your tumbler with clean water and wash it gently by hand. That's all it needs. The wood's natural density means it doesn't require anything stronger.
- Hand wash only — never place it in a dishwasher.
- Use a soft cloth or your fingertips; avoid abrasive scrubbers or scourers.
- Skip harsh detergents and chemical cleaning agents, which can strip the wood's natural oils and cause cracking over time.
Drying
After washing, stand the tumbler upright or rest it on its side in a well-ventilated spot and let it air-dry completely before storing. This simple step is the single most important thing you can do for long-term wood health.
- Do not leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods — UV exposure can dry out and fade the wood.
- Keep it away from excessive heat — stovetops, radiators, and hot car dashboards can cause the wood to warp or crack.
Soaking — What to Avoid
The tumbler is designed for overnight water infusion (see below), not prolonged soaking. Leaving it submerged in water for extended periods beyond the overnight use cycle can cause the wood to swell and weaken over time. Empty and rinse it each morning, then let it dry.
Overnight Use: The Traditional Wellness Ritual
This tumbler is made for the time-honoured practice of overnight water infusion. Here's the simple routine:
- Rinse the tumbler with clean water.
- Fill it with drinking water before bedtime.
- Leave the water to rest in the tumbler overnight (6–8 hours).
- Drink the infused water the following morning as part of your daily routine.
You may notice the water develops a light brown tint — this is a natural characteristic of Vijaysar heartwood and is completely expected. The intensity can vary and may gradually become lighter with continued use.
Natural Variations in Wood Grain
Every Vijaysar tumbler is cut from natural heartwood, which means no two tumblers look exactly alike. Grain pattern, colour, texture, and markings will vary from piece to piece. These differences are a hallmark of genuine wood and are not imperfections — they make your tumbler uniquely yours.
