How to Clean Bird's Nest
Cleaning bird's nest takes patience so that feathers and impurities are removed without damaging the strands. The right process preserves the nest's authenticity and nutrition without harmful chemicals.
- Soak just enough to soften the strands
- Pluck feathers carefully with tweezers
- Avoid chemical bleach
- Drain and dry correctly
Cleaning steps
Soak the nest briefly to soften the strands, then slowly pluck the feathers and impurities with tweezers. Rinse with clean water and drain. Avoid soaking too long so the strands don't fall apart.
- Soak briefly, not excessively
- Use tweezers for fine feathers
- Rinse with clean water
Without bleach
Avoid using bleach or chemicals to 'beautify' the colour. Besides reducing quality, chemicals pose a risk to consumption safety. Our practice is always bleach-free.
