Daily Maintenance Of Crystal Ornaments

Daily Cleaning Procedures
‌Removing Surface Dust: Gently wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth, or use a soft sable-hair brush to sweep dust from crevices following the direction of crystal growth. Do not use paper towels or ordinary cotton cloths, as these can cause microscopic scratches.
‌Handling Fingerprints/Light Smudges: Gently wipe with a soft cloth slightly dampened with distilled water; immediately absorb any residual moisture with a dry cloth within 15 seconds to prevent water spots and internal stress concentration.
‌Removing Stubborn Grease: Gently rub the stain with a lemon slice dipped in a little table salt, or rinse with lukewarm neutral soapy water followed immediately by a clean water rinse and drying. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean carved grooves, avoiding lateral (sideways) scrubbing.
‌Removing Limescale: Soak and wipe away limescale on inner surfaces using a mild vinegar-water solution; do not allow strong acid or alkaline solutions to come into direct contact with the crystal.

Placement and Environmental Protection
‌Shock and Drop Prevention: Place on a stable display stand with sufficient spacing between ornaments to prevent a domino-effect collapse. When moving, support the piece from the base or the body rather than grasping protruding top sections; wearing cotton gloves is recommended.
‌Temperature, Humidity, and Light Control: Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or ovens; the ideal environment is 18–24°C with 40%–60% relative humidity. Varieties like amethyst should be kept away from UV and blue light to prevent fading caused by prolonged exposure.
‌Avoiding Chemicals: Keep away from volatile chemicals such as perfumes, dishwashing detergents, aromatherapy products, and essential oils to prevent surface corrosion or the formation of stubborn oily films.
