Product Care
This is a handmade product using traditional handcrafting techniques and skills, variations may therefore occur.
Alabaster is a beautiful soft stone but because it is such a delicate porous stone special care needs to be taken when cleaning it.
Light Cleaning
1. Wipe the alabaster clean with the dry, pure cotton cloth. Regular dusting will help you maintain the alabasters attractive form.
Moderate Cleaning
1. Mix a mild dish washing liquid into a bowl of water. Dip your sponge into the water and wring dry. The sponge must merely be damp not dripping water.
2. Rub the sponge gently onto the alabaster.
3. Using fresh water rinse the sponge and gently re-wipe the alabaster.
4. Drying the alabaster:
Wipe away dampness with a dry cotton cloth. leave to dry at room temperature for a period of 2 – 3 hours before returning it to normal usage. Returning it to immediate use after use could be disastrous as heat can cause the alabaster to expand and crack.
Heavy Cleaning:
1. Lightly dampen a ball of cotton wool with acetone (nail polish remover) and apply to stain.
Caution:
Always test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Never immerse alabaster into water as it can ruin its appearance.
