Keep Away from Water: Terracotta is porous and can absorb water, which may weaken or damage the earrings. Avoid wearing them in the rain or while swimming.
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can cause the paint or finish to fade or chip. Apply these products before wearing the earrings to avoid damage.
Store Properly: Store your terracotta earrings in a dry, cushioned box or pouch. Separate them from metal jewellery to avoid scratches or damage to the surface. Wrapping them in tissue paper is also a good option.
Handle with Care: Although sturdy, terracotta is still fragile. Handle your earrings gently to prevent chipping or breaking.
Clean Gently: To remove dust or dirt, gently wipe the earrings with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure you dry the earrings immediately to prevent water absorption.
Avoid Excessive Heat or Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight may cause the colours to fade. Store the earrings in a cool, shaded place to preserve their vibrancy.
Care Instructions for Handloom Clothes:
Hand Wash Recommended: Gently wash with mild detergent in cold water to preserve the fabric’s natural softness.
Machine Washable: Use the delicate cycle with a gentle detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Dry in the shade to prevent fading and to maintain the fabric’s rich color.
Ironing: Iron on low to medium heat while the fabric is slightly damp for a crisp and fresh look. Avoid using a hot iron directly on the delicate weave.
