Wash ceramics with warm, soapy water by hand unless otherwise noted.
Avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., from oven to cold water) to prevent cracking.
Many pieces are dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand-washing to extend their life.
Use a soft sponge — avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the glaze.
Caring for Handwoven Textiles
Spot clean when possible using mild, eco-friendly detergents.
For deeper cleaning, hand-wash in cold water or use a gentle cycle.
Air dry flat to maintain shape and avoid shrinkage.
Store folded in a cool, dry place — avoid plastic storage bags to prevent trapping moisture.
Caring for Wood & Natural Materials
Wipe wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid harsh cleaners; instead, use natural oils like mineral oil to condition wood every few months.
Keep out of direct sunlight to reduce fading or cracking.
