・Wash Products carefully using sponge or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive sponge, wiresponge, kitchen cleaner or chlorine bleach as they may cause damage or tarnish Products.
・Use a soft brush for washing cut surface.
・Avoid putting your hand into a Product you will risk breaking it. Use a sponge with a long handle instead.
・After rinsing a Product thoroughly with warm water, place it upside down on dry cloth and before it is completely dry, wrap it in soft cloth and gently wipe off the moist. Take care not to hold its stem or base while wiping, since the stem part is especially fragile.
