Owning a collection of shell crafts from Sabila Multi Kreasindo, whether in the form of decorative plates, photo frames, or custom furniture, is more than just owning ordinary decorations. You are preserving pieces of natural beauty combined with the precision of the craftsmen’s hands.
Shell products with laminated techniques have exceptional durability. However, to keep their natural luster (nacre) looking as stunning as when they first left our gallery, proper care is required. Here is a practical guide to maintaining your premium shell collection:
- Use a Soft Microfiber Cloth
For routine dusting, avoid using coarse dusters or brushes. Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth instead. The microfiber texture can lift dust without leaving fine scratches on the product’s laminate coating. - Avoid Harsh Chemicals
This is the most important rule. Never clean capiz shell products with cleaning fluids that contain alcohol, bleach, or strong acids. These chemicals can cause a reaction in the protective coating and make the shell surface dull or yellow.
Tips: Just use a slightly damp cloth (with plain water) for stubborn stains, then dry immediately with a clean cloth. - Keep Away from Direct Sunlight
Although shells come from the hot sea, laminated craft products should not be exposed to continuous UV sunlight for long periods of time. Exposure to extreme temperatures can affect the natural color of the shells and the strength of the adhesive layer. Place your collection in a cool interior area to maintain its color saturation. - Techniques for Cleaning Detailed Crevices
Some of our products have unique textured details. If dust gets into the crevices of the pattern, you can use a very soft small paint brush (an unused makeup brush can also be used) to reach difficult corners without damaging the surface. - Special Handling for Tableware
If you have products such as plates or shell trays:
– Avoid Microwaves: Shell crafts are not designed for high temperatures in ovens or microwaves.
– Hand Wash: Do not use dishwashers. Wash by hand using mild dish soap and wipe dry immediately before storing.
Capiz shell crafts are an aesthetic investment. With minimal but proper care, the organic beauty of the sea will continue to give your home a luxurious and exclusive feel for generations to come.
