FAQs
How many incense sticks can this holder accommodate?
This holder is designed to accommodate up to five incense sticks simultaneously.
What material is the incense holder made of?
The incense holder is made of soapstone.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, it is designed for safe indoor use, provided it is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials and drafts.
How do I clean the floral pattern?
Gently wipe the carved floral pattern with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Can I use this holder with cone incense?
This holder is specifically designed for stick incense. It is not intended for cone incense.
Will the floral design wear off?
The floral design is carved into the soapstone, so it is durable. However, vigorous cleaning or rough handling could potentially affect its appearance over time.
What are the dimensions of the holder?
While specific dimensions are not provided, the holder is designed to be compact for tabletop use.
Troubleshooting
Incense sticks won't stand upright.
Ensure the sticks are inserted fully into the holes and that the holder is on a perfectly level surface. If holes are slightly worn, try using a different stick or a small shim.
Excessive ash falling outside the holder.
Confirm the incense stick is burning evenly and not leaning. Ensure the holder is not near any drafts or fans that could disturb the ash.
Holder feels warm to the touch.
This is normal due to the heat of the burning incense. Allow the holder to cool down completely before touching or cleaning it.
Discoloration on the surface.
Some discoloration may occur from incense ash and oils. This is a natural characteristic of soapstone and can be gently wiped clean. Deep stains may be permanent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the incense holder on a flat, stable surface before inserting incense sticks into the designated holes. Ensure the holder is positioned away from flammable materials and drafts.
Compatibility: This holder is designed for standard incense sticks. It may not accommodate very thick or unusually shaped sticks.
Care: To clean, allow the holder to cool completely. Gently tap out any ash into a bin. Wipe the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the carved pattern. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, but ensure the holder is thoroughly dried afterward. Due to the porous nature of soapstone, some scent absorption may occur over time, which is normal.
