Caring for a KCIC Christmas Ornament

Caring for Your KCIC Glass or Porcelain Christmas Ornament

The Packing Shred and Tissue Paper

Do not discard the color-coordinated packing shred and tissue that surrounds your ornament. The shred keeps the contents of your storage box from shifting around during off-season storage. It could prevent chipping or other damage to your ornament. Keep your ornament in the small ornament gift pouch or box in which it was packed. And, keep that with the Certificate of Authenticity and/or the ornament stand, inside of the Indestructo storage box that was inside of the gift box for your ornament.

Caring For Your Porcelain Christmas Ornament

These ornaments are fragile. Handle them carefully! Before removing the ornament from your tree or ornament stand, make sure you have the ornament gift box and storage box nearby. Place it immediately in the ornament gift box (small box with the clear lid.) While the ornament is in this box, hold it securely and use a soft, lint free cloth or small feather duster to remove dust from the porcelain body of the ornament. Raise the ornament slightly above the edge of the box, hold the box and ornament securely and gently brush the velvet bow with a soft toothbrush allowing debris to fall on the table beneath. Lower the ornament into the box, replace the clear lid, put the boxed ornament inside of the Indestructo storage box with the larger KCIC gift box. Store the box it in a cool, dry area out of direct heat or sunlight until you are ready to display your ornament again.

To clean pouched ornaments, lay the ornament flat on a sheet of 3/16" bubble wrap, bubble side down. Hold it securely at the top and use a soft, lint free cloth to remove dust from the ornament. Gently brush the velvet bow with a soft toothbrush allowing debris to fall on the bubble wrap sheet beneath. Replace the ornament in its bubble wrap pouch / insert and place it back in the organza pouch. Store all items inside of the Indestructo storage box with the larger KCIC gift box. Store the box it in a cool, dry area out of direct heat or sunlight until you are ready to display your ornament again.

Many of our customers prefer to display their ornaments all year around, not just at Christmas. If you choose to do so, try to place it in a display cabinet, china closet or other enclosed space. Keep it out of direct sun light or heat. Depending upon where the ornament is displayed, your ornament may accumulate dust. To remove dust on the ornament, carefully remove it from the stand and follow the above instructions. Do not use water or anything wet on the ornaments! Clean the stand as below and carefully replace the ornament.

Caring For Your Glass Christmas Ornament

These ornaments are extremely fragile. Handle them carefully! Before removing the ornaments from your tree or display stand, make sure you have the gift box and/or storage box in hand. Set the ornaments immediately in the storage box provided. While the ornament is in the open box, use a feather duster to remove dust from the body of the ornament. Use a soft toothbrush to clean dust from the ribbon/bow. Do not use water or anything wet on the ornaments! 

Hold the ornament securely on the edges, but not too tight - slightly above the edge of the box. Gently brush the velvet bow with a soft toothbrush to remove dust allowing debris to fall on the table. Wrap the ornament in its' tissue, put the cleaned ornament back in its bubble wrap insert, then insert into the velveteen storage pouch and place it in the Indestructo storage box until you are ready to display it again. Store it in a cool, dry area out of direct heat or sunlight until you are ready to display it again.

Store all KCIC ornaments in a cool, dry area out of direct heat or sunlight until you are ready to display them again. If you need to return a damaged ornament, contact us.
