Care Instructions for Crystal Décor
Cleaning:
- Gently clean your crystal using lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners that could damage the surface.
- Rinse with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry the crystal with a soft, lint-free cotton or linen cloth to avoid water spots. Polish with the provided black cloth from the gift box. Air-drying may cause streaks or watermarks.
Handling:
- Handle the crystal with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges or fingerprints.
- Always hold larger crystal pieces from the base, not by delicate parts like stems or handles, to prevent stress on fragile areas.
Avoid Abrasives:
- Never use abrasive sponges, brushes, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the surface of the crystal.
Temperature Sensitivity:
- Crystal is sensitive to temperature changes. Avoid exposing it to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as sudden changes can cause cracking or shattering.
- Do not pour boiling liquids into crystal containers and avoid placing them in the freezer or exposing them to direct heat (such as in a microwave or oven).
Storage:
- Store crystal items in a safe place where they won’t knock against each other or other hard surfaces.
- If stacking or storing multiple crystal pieces, place soft padding or cloth between them to prevent scratching or chipping.
Avoid Pressure:
- Do not subject the crystal to excessive mechanical pressure. This includes avoiding sitting, leaning, or placing heavy objects on crystal surfaces, which can cause weakening and eventual breakage.
Keep Out of Reach:
- Always keep crystal items out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidents.
Polishing:
- For additional shine, polish the crystal using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical-based polishes that are not specifically formulated for crystal care.
By following these care instructions, you can preserve the brilliance and longevity of your 100% crystal pieces.
