FAQs
Can these be used with real flowers?
Yes, they are waterproof and safe to use with fresh floral arrangements.
Are these cylinders microwave or dishwasher safe?
No, they should be hand-washed only and should never be placed in a dishwasher or microwave.
What is the diameter of the cylinder?
These 15cm cylinders are designed with standard floral arrangement dimensions in mind; please check the specific product batch specifications for exact diameter if fitting into a secondary holder.
Can I use real wax candles inside?
It is not recommended to use naked flames inside the cylinders as the heat could potentially warp the acrylic; battery-operated LED candles are the preferred alternative.
How do I remove sticky residue from labels?
Gently rub the area with a small amount of vegetable oil or a citrus-based adhesive remover, then wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears cloudy or dull
Clean using a specialized plastic polish or a mild soapy water solution and buff gently with a microfiber cloth.
Visible water spots
Wipe down with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry, soft cloth to prevent mineral deposits from drying on the surface.
Cylinder sliding on slick surfaces
Apply small, clear silicone adhesive feet to the base of the cylinder to provide extra grip on polished tables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the cylinders, ensure they are placed on a level surface. If using for fresh flowers, consider trimming stems to approximately 18-20cm to maintain a balanced look. For maintenance, clean the acrylic by rinsing with lukewarm water and a mild dish detergent, then dry immediately with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid water spots. Avoid using glass cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol, as these can cloud the acrylic surface over time. Store the cylinders separately or wrapped in soft tissue to maintain their pristine finish during transport.
