Handmade Product Care Guide

Effective Date: November 3, 2026

At Kitova, we want you to enjoy your handmade products for as long as possible. Proper handling, cleaning, and storage can help maintain their appearance and condition.

Because handmade products may use different materials and production techniques, always follow any specific care instructions supplied with the individual item.

General Handling

• Handle handmade products with care, especially items with delicate details or decorative components.

• Avoid dropping, bending, pulling, or applying excessive pressure to delicate areas.

• Keep products away from sharp objects that may cause scratches, cuts, or surface damage.

• Do not make alterations or repairs unless the product instructions specifically allow them.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Use a soft, clean cloth to remove ordinary dust when appropriate for the material.

• Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, abrasive cleaners, and strong solvents unless specifically approved for the product.

• Test any suitable cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.

• Do not soak products in water unless the product description confirms that they are water-safe.

• Follow material-specific cleaning instructions whenever available.

Storage

• Store products in a clean, dry location.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight where these conditions may affect the material.

• Keep delicate items protected from pressure, friction, and accidental impact.

• Use suitable protective packaging when storing products for extended periods.

Natural Handmade Variations

Handmade products may have slight differences in color, texture, grain, finish, shape, or surface details.

These variations can result from individual materials and production techniques. They are generally considered part of the character of handmade goods rather than defects.

Special Material Instructions

Different materials require different care methods. For example, wood, fabric, ceramics, metal, glass, paper, and natural fibers may each require specific cleaning and storage conditions.

Please refer to the individual product page or included care instructions for material-specific recommendations.
