Against moths and insects:
Place a tea bag (herbal) in the flour spout. Put bay leaves in the upper and
lower parts of the mill.
Moths love dark conditions, where they can survive in peace and quiet!
They eat only flour and no wood. Provided your mill is frequently used, you
will not be offering moths a comfortable place to stay.
Cleaning the thread:
Remove any residue flour from the thread using a small brush and/or a
vacuum cleaner as this can affect the functioning of the thread. Regular
cleaning is therefore recommended.
The thread is adjusted smoothly and must not be oiled. Oil and flour together
leads to bonding of the thread.
Care and cleaning of the housing:
The housings of our Salzburger grain mills are made from beech wood, which
has been treated with special organic oil-beeswax varnish. No special
maintenance is required. Please use a damp cloth to remove dust from
exterior surfaces. Do not use water or other detergents for “cleaning”. Stains
or small scratches can be removed with fine-grained sand paper. Finally treat
the wood with a natural protective.
