Troubleshooting
Ornament appears unstable
Ensure the surface it is placed on is perfectly level and firm. If the ground has shifted, reposition the ornament on a more stable base.
Surface dirt or algae accumulation
Gently scrub the surface with a soft brush and lukewarm water. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Minor chips or cracks appear over time
For very small imperfections, consider using a stone repair compound or a concrete filler that matches the color. For significant damage, consult with a specialist or consider replacement.
Color fading slightly over extended periods
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually affect color vibrancy. Consider strategic placement to reduce constant exposure to intense sun if this is a concern.
