Caring for your resin treasures
At Perfectly Imperfect, we craft unique epoxy resin items with love and care. To ensure your pieces remain beautiful for years to come, follow these simple guidelines for proper maintenance and protection.
General cleaning tips
To keep your epoxy resin items sparkling, a gentle approach is key. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scrub brushes, as these can dull the resin's finish or cause scratches. For tough spots, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab can be effective, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Epoxy resin is durable, but not indestructible. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause yellowing or warping. Do not place hot items directly on resin surfaces without protection. While resin is scratch-resistant, it can still be scratched by sharp objects, so handle with care. For coasters and placemats, use felt pads on the bottom to prevent scratching furniture surfaces.
Protecting your resin from damage
Long-term maintenance
Over time, you may wish to refresh the shine of your resin items. A small amount of mineral oil applied with a soft cloth can restore luster. For deeper scratches or a dull finish, specialized resin polishing compounds are available. Store your resin pieces away from direct heat and light when not in use to prolong their lifespan and maintain their original beauty. With a little care, your Perfectly Imperfect creations will bring joy for years.
