Care:

• Dust regularly: Gently shake them out or use a soft lint roller or a low-suction handheld vacuum (with a brush attachment).
• Spot clean only: If dirty, dab gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak—they are made of felted wool and can lose shape.
• Avoid harsh cleaners: Bleach, strong detergents, or hot water can damage the fibers and dyes.
• Keep out of direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.
• Avoid humid or damp environments—wool felt can attract mildew if exposed to moisture.
• Store in a cool, dry place if not on display. Wrapping in tissue paper can help protect petals from dust and crushing.
• Handle gently, as the hand-stitched construction can come loose if pulled or bent excessively.
• If petals get flattened, you can lightly steam them (without soaking) and reshape with your fingers.
