Remove all cutlery and utensils from the drawer. Set sharp knives aside safely.
Lift out the organizer and remove crumbs from each compartment and the base with a soft dry brush or cloth.
Check the model's materials and care label. IKEA UPPDATERA bamboo trays are specified for wiping with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner followed by drying.
Gently wipe corners and the base without saturating the surface. Do not soak it or hold it under running water.
Promptly wipe all surfaces and the underside with a clean dry cloth, and allow the tray to dry completely before returning it.
