Care & Maintenance
Due to their unique materials and handcrafted nature, ceramic products require special care to preserve their beauty and longevity. Here are some basic guidelines for maintaining your ceramics:
• Cleaning
– Before cleaning, gently remove dust from the surface using a soft brush or dry cloth.
– Use warm water with a small amount of mild, neutral detergent. Avoid any cleaners containing acids, alkalis, or abrasive particles, as they may damage the glaze or ceramic surface.
– Rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure no detergent residue remains.
• Drying
– After washing, let the ceramic piece air dry in a well-ventilated area.
– Avoid direct sunlight, as rapid temperature changes can cause cracking.
– Do not use a hairdryer or other artificial heat sources to speed up drying, as drastic temperature shifts may damage the ceramic.
• Storage
– When storing, avoid contact between pieces. Use soft cloths or padding to separate them.
– Place ceramics on a stable, dry, non-slippery surface, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
– Handle with care during use to prevent drops or impact from hard objects.
