Spring & Summer
Higher humidity can affect natural materials. Ensure good air circulation and consider using silica gel packets in storage areas. Check items regularly for any signs of moisture damage.
Fall & Winter
Dry indoor air from heating can cause cracking in wooden items. Use a humidifier to maintain 40-50% humidity. Avoid placing items near heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
Stains on Fabric Items
Treat immediately with cold water. For stubborn stains, make a paste with baking soda and water. Let sit for 30 minutes before gentle washing.
Fading Colors
Some fading is natural with handmade dyes. To minimize, keep items away from direct sunlight and wash in cold water with color-safe detergent.
Loose Threads or Embellishments
Don't pull! Trim loose threads with sharp scissors. For loose embellishments, contact us for repair guidance or professional restoration services.
Wooden Item Cracks
Small cracks are normal in handmade wood items. Apply food-safe wood conditioner and avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent further cracking.
