Clean a knife block and knives differently: IKEA JÄMFÖRA care
IKEA's JÄMFÖRA instructions say to wipe the knife block with a damp cloth and hand-wash the knives. Avoid soaking the block or wiping sharp edges with bare fingers.
A knife block is not washed the same way as the blades inside it. IKEA's JÄMFÖRA (903.468.32) care instructions clearly distinguish wiping the stand from hand-washing the knives. Follow the maker's directions for other materials and models.
