Care guide
A careful approach to handmade product care
Start with the maker's instructions, then use a conservative routine that respects the materials and construction.

Use the listing as your source
Care varies by material, finish, dye, and construction. Follow the care instructions on the product listing when they are available rather than applying one method to every handmade object.
Choose the least aggressive method
When instructions are limited, avoid soaking, harsh cleaners, high heat, and abrasive tools until you have guidance from the maker. Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first.
Keep the order record
Your order page preserves the product and maker connection. Use it when you need to identify an item or review the delivery and return history attached to the purchase.
