III. Maintenance Instructions

Avoid Dampness: Wooden objects are prone to getting damp, deforming, and getting moldy. Therefore, avoid letting them come into contact with water. Keep them properly when it is wet or when engaging in water-related activities. If they accidentally get wet, dry them immediately with a dry cloth and place them in a well-ventilated and dry place to dry naturally. Avoid exposure to the sun or high-temperature baking.

Prevent Scratching: The surface of the red sandalwood and the silver ornaments are both prone to being scratched. Avoid friction with sharp objects. When storing, try to place the pendant separately in a soft cloth bag or jewelry box to avoid scratching with other jewelry and maintain the smoothness of its surface.

Avoid Chemical Substances: Avoid letting the objects come into contact with chemical substances such as perfume, cosmetics, and detergents. These substances may corrode the surface of the wood or damage the characters and patterns on it. If they accidentally come into contact, rinse them immediately with clean water and dry them.

Regular Cleaning: You can gently wipe the objects with a soft dry cloth regularly to remove the dust on the surface. If there are stains, you can gently wipe them with a small amount of special wooden cleaner, but be careful not to over-wipe to avoid surface abrasion.
