Caring for Your BrookeLynn's Home Handcrafted Bowl
BrookeLynn’s Home handmade bowls from Artistry in Texture are expressive, sculptural pieces—perfect for enhancing your curated décor. Each bowl is either crafted from resin or made from cement and finished with a resin topcoat. With proper care and attention, your bowl will maintain its vibrant colors and luxurious, high-gloss finish for many years of enjoyment.
Gentle Cleansing & Care
- Hand Wash Only: We strongly recommend hand washing all decorative bowls. Do not place them in the dishwasher or microwave, as extreme heat and harsh detergents can compromise the bowl’s finish—causing the resin surface to dull, soften, warp, or crack (and may also stress the cement base over time).
- Warm Water & Mild Soap: Use warm water and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive liquid dish soap.Soft Cloth Only: Gently clean the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth or sponge. Avoid rough scrubbers, steel wool, or abrasive cleansers, which can scratch the resin finish (including resin-coated cement bowls).
- Rinse and Dry Immediately: Rinse all soap residue completely. To prevent water spots or mineral buildup, dry the bowl immediately and thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth after washing.
Handling & Display
- Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat: This is the most crucial step for protecting the resin surface. Do not display your bowl near radiators, open flames, or in direct, prolonged sunlight. UV exposure and high heat can cause the resin to yellow, fade, or soften, and may lead to warping or surface changes over time.
- Protect the Surface: Avoid dropping the bowl or placing sharp or heavy objects (like metal keys or jagged jewelry) directly inside, as they can cause deep scratches or chips in the resin finish.
- Weight Limit: Do not overload the bowl with excessively heavy items. Keep contents appropriate for a delicate, decorative display—especially for bowls with a cement base, which may be heavier but can still chip if impacted.
Important Considerations
- Intended Use (Decorative Only): Unless explicitly stated in the product description, your decorative bowl is not intended for direct contact with food—especially hot, acidic, or oily consumables. We recommend using food-safe liners or containers if displaying unwrapped items.
- Polishing: If the high-gloss finish ever appears slightly less vibrant, you may gently restore its sheen using a minimal amount of mineral oil or a plastic polish applied with a clean microfiber cloth. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
By following these simple care instructions, your BrookeLynn’s Home decorative bowl will continue to be a beautiful focal point in your home décor.
