Troubleshooting
Ornament appears dull or dirty.
Gently wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted in water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Small chips or imperfections on the surface.
These are often part of the hand-finished character. For minor chips, a stone repair compound might be suitable, but extensive repairs are generally not recommended.
Ornament seems unstable.
Ensure the surface it is placed on is completely flat and level. If necessary, use a thin, non-slip mat beneath the ornament to improve stability.
