CARING FOR STATUARY
- Ensure Statuary is securely installed.
- Do not place Statues on Plinths/Pedestals that do not completely cover/support the base of the Statue.
- Do not use any bleach, abrasive chemicals or cloths for cleaning.
- Dust often, as dusting is the best way to keep your statuary looking pristine.
- Gently wash areas with a warm damp cloth only if absolutely necessary, and patted dry after.
- Statuary should be kept away from heat sources.
- Avoid placing Statuary in direct sunlight, as harmful UV can cause fading/discoloration over time.
- Avoid situating Wooden Statuary in area's that are subject to significant swings in temperature and humidity.
- Dryness is one of the major hazards that will cause damage to Wood Statuary over time, causing the surface to dull and the body to crack in some rare circumstances.
