To ensure the longevity of hand-carved Soar wood (also known as Suar wood), the following care instructions should be observed: - Cleaning: Regularly remove dust with a soft, dry cloth, a duster, or a soft brush for deep carvings. Avoid wet cloths, as moisture can penetrate deep into the wood and damage it.
- Room climate: Maintain a constant humidity level (ideally 40-60%) and a room temperature between 18-22°C (64-72°F). If the air is dry due to heating, use a humidifier if necessary.
- Location: Do not place the relief near heat sources (such as radiators or fireplaces) and protect it from direct sunlight to prevent cracking and fading.
- Surface care: Occasionally treat the wood with special wood oils or natural wax (e.g., beeswax) to nourish it and preserve the grain.
- Protection against liquids: Immediately absorb any spills with a dry cloth; avoid contact with alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.
