Place the lid securely over a Hangiri rice barrel of matching size (39cm) to keep rice fresh and maintain moisture during preparation. After use, rinse the lid with warm water to remove any food residues. Avoid using harsh detergents or dishwashers to preserve the wood's natural properties and copper detailing. Wipe dry with a clean cloth and air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent cracking or warping.

Clean the lid by rinsing with hot water immediately after use to prevent food stains and odors. If resin oozes from the wood surface, gently wipe it off using vinegar or ethanol liquid (sterilizing alcohol) to remove stickiness. Avoid soaking the lid or placing it in a dishwasher to protect the wood and copper ornamentation. After washing, thoroughly dry the lid with a cloth and allow it to air dry in a cool, ventilated place out of direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage, cracking, or loosening of the copper parts.
