Dry the rasp steel blade thoroughly after each use, since this reclaimed material lacks stainless steel's built in corrosion resistance and rusts faster if left damp. Clean the resin handle with a damp cloth as needed, since the material tolerates regular moisture exposure without special care concerns.
