Keep your piece out of direct sunlight

UV rays can cause natural flowers to fade over time.
Place your piece in a shaded or softly lit area for the best longevity.

Avoid extreme heat or cold

Resin can expand or contract with temperature swings.
For best results:

• Keep indoors

• Avoid displaying near heaters, fireplaces, windowsills, or outdoor spaces

Keep away from moisture & humidity

Although sealed in resin, florals are still organic.
Do not place your piece in bathrooms, greenhouses, kitchens near steam, or anywhere that experiences consistent humidity.

🌿 Cleaning Your Resin Piece

Resin should never be cleaned with harsh chemicals.

Safe cleaning methods:

• Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe dust

• For fingerprints, use a slightly damp cloth with water

• For tough smudges, a tiny amount of gentle dish soap (like Dawn) diluted with water

Avoid:

• Alcohol

• Acetone

• Abrasive cleaners

• Rough sponges or scrubbing pads
  These can dull the shine or cause clouding.

🌸 Protecting the Shine

Your piece is finished with a professional-grade resin topcoat. To maintain the high gloss:

• Avoid stacking items on top

• Do not slide objects across the surface

• Store flat pieces like trays or blocks on a soft surface if needed

If your piece ever becomes slightly dull, contact me for refinishing options — I offer restoration + re-polishing services.

🌹 Flower Color Expectations

Because these are real flowers, not artificial ones:

• Some blooms deepen or darken during preservation

• Whites may shift to ivory or soft champagne

• Reds, blues, and purples can become richer and moodier

• Tiny air bubbles or organic textures are considered natural characteristics

Each piece is one-of-a-kind — just like your bouquet.
