Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the St Helens Nutcracker is simple: place it on any stable, flat surface. Due to the wooden composition, it is recommended to keep this ornament in a dry, indoor environment to prevent wood expansion or paint peeling. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or water, as these can damage the painted finish. When storing after the season, wrap the nutcracker in acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap to protect the tassels and decorative elements from dust and compression.
