Care Instructions
Cleaning
Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. If needed, gently wipe with a lightly damp cloth.
Drying
Avoid soaking the wood. If the figurine becomes wet, dry it immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
Environment and Storage
Keep your figurines in a stable, moderately humid environment and avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Large humidity or temperature fluctuations can cause the wood to crack or warp.
