General Care and Cleaning
General Care
- Keep away from moisture
- Remove clay jewellery before sleeping
- Remove clay jewellery before showering or bathing
- Allow your perfumes or lotions to fully dry and soak in before wearing your jewellery
- Remove before starting physical activity
- Store in closed bag or box
Cleaning
- For makeup and general dirt clean with a damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for more stubborn marks on your earrings, but pat dry with a clean dry cloth afterwards
- For tougher stains (use with caution) use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or acetone to clean any stubborn stains from makeup. However this is not recommended for earrings that have varnish, resin, paint, foil leaf or flakes as this could damage the sealant and the design on the jewellery.
- For any metal components that may have tarnished over time they can be lightly polished with a jewellery polishing cloth or cotton cloth.
- Please do not use rough cloths on the jewellery as this can scratch the clay.
