Whether you use your wooden stash box to store your rolling essentials, herbs, or little treasures, proper maintenance is key to keeping it in prime condition. A well-kept box not only looks better—it lasts longer, functions smoother, and keeps your stash organized and protected. At The Roller Moller, we believe your box should age like fine whiskey: gracefully, beautifully, and with character. Here’s how to take care of yours.

1. Keep It Clean
Let’s be real—things can get a little messy in the stash department. A soft-bristled brush is your best friend here. Use it to sweep out any loose particles, crumbs, or leftover herb bits from every corner and crevice. Avoid using water or harsh cleaners; wood doesn’t like to get wet, and moisture can lead to warping or cracking over time.
We recommend doing a quick brush-out every week or two, especially if you use your box frequently.

2. Stay Organized
Most of our boxes come with built-in compartments designed to keep everything in its place. Grinder? Papers? Lighter? Tools? There’s a spot for each. Make a habit of returning everything to its designated place. Not only will your sessions run smoother, but this helps prevent unnecessary wear and tear from stuff rattling around or pressing against the box walls.

3. Mind the Magnets and Hinges
Magnets and hinges are small but mighty. They’re what keep your stash safe and your box functioning like a dream. Over time, dust and residue can build up around these parts. Give them a gentle wipe-down with a dry cloth or a cotton swab. Avoid using any oils near magnets and hinges, as this can gum them up or weaken their grip.

4. Condition the Wood Every 6–12 Months
Like your favorite cutting board or guitar, your wooden stash box needs a little conditioning love. Every 6 to 12 months, take a few minutes to wax it up. Use beeswax for a natural, protective finish or walnut oil for a more deep-nourish glow. Both options feed the wood, bring out the grain, and help protect against dryness or cracking.
Rub the wax or oil in with a soft cloth, let it sit overnight, and then buff off any excess. Your box will thank you with a rich, smooth finish and that oh-so-satisfying feel.
