How do I care for finished resin baubles?

Resin baubles, when properly cared for, can stay glossy and vibrant for many festive seasons. A little routine attention goes a long way in preserving their unique beauty and handmade charm.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To keep resin baubles looking their best, dust them gently using a soft, dry cloth. If needed, you can use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth to wipe away fingerprints or light marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives, as these can dull the surface and mar the glossy finish.

Display, Storage, and Longevity

Prolonged sunlight can cause discolouration over time, so it’s best to display baubles out of direct sun. When the season ends, wrap each ornament in soft tissue or bubble wrap to prevent scratches, and store in a cool, dry place away from excess heat or moisture. This prevents accidental chipping and maintains their finish from one year to the next.

When Extra Care is Needed

If your resin decorations feature embedded glitter, dried flowers, or intricate paintwork, be especially gentle when handling, as raised or textured surfaces may catch or chip more easily. Giving each piece individual attention when packing and unpacking will help them remain stunning year after year.
