Troubleshooting

Ornament appears unstable

Ensure the ornament is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Check for any unevenness in the ground that might cause tipping.

Moss or algae growth

Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and water. For stubborn growth, use a mild soap solution, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely.

Minor chips or cracks on surface

For very minor surface chips, a stone repair compound can be used. For larger cracks, consult a professional stone restorer or consider replacing the item.

Color fading over time

Apply a clear stone sealer annually to help protect the color and finish from UV rays and weathering.
