Care of Polymer Clay

Thank you for purchasing one of my handmade polymer clay items! With proper care, your unique pieces will last for years to come. Here are a few tips to help you keep them in great condition:

Handle with Care: Polymer clay is durable, but it can still break if dropped onto a hard surface. Handle your pieces gently to ensure their longevity.

Keep Away from Heat: Polymer clay can soften or even melt under extreme heat. Keep your creations away from direct sunlight, heaters, and hot surfaces. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, as the heat could damage the piece.

Cleaning: Gently clean your polymer clay items using a soft cloth or a dampened wipe. For tougher spots, you can use a mild soap and water solution. Always make sure to dry the piece thoroughly after cleaning.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from harsh cleaning products or abrasives that could scratch or damage the surface of your polymer clay pieces.

Storage: Store your polymer clay creations in a cool, dry place. If you're storing jewelry pieces, keep them in a jewelry box or pouch to avoid scratches or damage from other objects.

Be Mindful of Jewelry: If you're wearing polymer clay jewelry, try to remove it before swimming, showering, or sleeping. This helps prevent wear and tear, and ensures your jewelry stays in great condition.

Repairs: While polymer clay is sturdy, accidents can happen. If your item becomes damaged, some pieces can be carefully repaired with extra polymer clay. Please reach out to me if you'd like advice on repairs or need help with your piece.

By following these simple care instructions, you'll be able to enjoy your polymer clay creation for years to come!
