Care Instructions
-
Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using alcohol or bleach-based disinfectants as they can damage the protective coating.
-
Moisture Warning: Do not submerge in water or use wet wipes. Moisture causes the softwood to warp and dissolves the natural makku adhesive.
-
Safe Placement: Display in a dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the hand-painted vegetable dyes.
