Epoxy resin products are durable and long-lasting, but to maintain their original beauty, it’s important to follow a few simple care tips:
1. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
While resin is sturdy, sharp objects can scratch its surface.
2. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can affect the color of the product. Store items in a shaded place to preserve their appearance.
3. Cleaning the products.
Wipe the products with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For heavier dirt, use a soapy solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough sponges.
4. Avoid excessive heat.
Resin coasters are designed to handle hot cups of tea or coffee, so feel free to use them for this purpose. However, resin products, including coasters, are not meant for placing hot pots straight from the stove, kettles, or any other hot cookware. Doing so can cause the surface to deform.
5. Using decorative tableware.
Resin products such as dishes, plates, or other decorative items are not intended to hold food, especially warm or hot items like soups. These items are meant for decorative purposes only.
However, products with a food-safe resin coating can be used to serve cold foods — snacks, fruits, desserts, and other non-warm dishes. Do not use them for warm or hot foods, as heat can damage the surface and potentially release harmful substances.
6. Proper storage.
Store resin items in a dry place, away from chemicals, to avoid damage.
7. Do not use for cutting food.
If the product comes into contact with food, ensure it is coated with certified food-safe resin, such as Resin Pro. You can confirm this at the time of purchase.
By following these recommendations, you can preserve the decorative properties and functionality of your epoxy resin products for years to come.
