Kent & Stowe Stainless Steel Hand Trowel

Proper Storage

To keep your tools performing at their best, always store them in a dry environment after use. Even in dry weather, moisture from wet grass and dew can cause damage if tools are left outside.

Cleaning and Drying

Remove soil and debris after each use by washing off dirt. Never store tools while wet—allow them to dry completely to prevent rust and handle rot.

Maintaining Wooden Handles

Apply a light coat of boiled linseed oil to wooden handles to prevent drying and cracking. If very dirty, clean with a stiff brush and a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water to prevent swelling and grain lifting.

Chemical Exposure

Thoroughly clean any tools used for applying fertilisers or chemicals, as these substances can quickly corrode metal surfaces.
