How to Care for Your Handmade Clay Figurines
Keeping the Magic Alive
Your custom clay figurine is a tiny piece of art, crafted with love and attention to detail. To ensure it stays as vibrant and beautiful as the day you received it, a little care goes a long way.
Dusting and Cleaning
The easiest way to maintain your clay figurine is by keeping it dust-free. Use a soft, dry brush (like a makeup brush or a soft paintbrush) to gently sweep away any dust that settles on it. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the delicate finish and colors.
Avoiding Extreme Temperatures
Polymer clay is durable, but extreme heat or cold can affect it. Keep your figurines away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading. Similarly, avoid placing them near heat sources like radiators or stoves.
Safe Display
While our clay pieces are sturdy, they are still handcrafted art. Display them on a stable surface where they won't easily be knocked over. If your figurine has delicate parts (like thin arms or small accessories), handle them with extra care.
Conclusion: With just a little bit of mindful care, your Claymigo figurine will remain a cherished keepsake for a lifetime.
