Caring for a Metal Ornament Stand

Caring for Your KCIC Ornament Tree or Ornament Stand

The ornament stands and trees on our site are imported. Since we do not manufacture them,
our warranty of these products is limited to that of the supplier.

For ornament gifts shipped with an ornament stand ( Deluxe and Renaissance) we provide a storage box. The shred around the ornament stand and ornament provides additional cushioning during off-season storage. Do not discard the storage box or decorative shred.

Caring For Your Ornament Stand/Tree
Please use the Indestructo box or shipping box to store your ornament stand or tree.

Brass plated: First, remove the ornament from the display stand, wipe it gently with a clean, dry cloth and place it in the sheer pouch or velvet pouch that we provided. Many of our brass stands are lacquered to prevent tarnishing. However, depending upon where your ornament is displayed, the brass-plated stand may get dark spots or discolorations called "pitting" from exposure to moisture and humidity. To remove those stains, gently rub with a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of a fine quality brass polish that is approved for use on lacquered brass or brass plate. Follow the cleaning product instructions. Carefully remount the ornament on its' stand if you are displaying it year round. If not, put the ornament and cleaned stand back in the Indestructo storage box we provided.

Chrome Plated: First, remove the ornament from the display stand, wipe it gently with a clean, dry cloth and place it in the sheer pouch or velvet pouch that we provided. To remove pitting on the ornament stand, gently rub with a soft cloth dampened by a small quantity of a fine quality polish that is approved for use on chrome or chrome plate. Follow the cleaning product instructions. Carefully remount the ornament if you are displaying it year round. If not, put the cleaned ornament and stand back in the Indestructo storage box we provided.

Lucite: This stand should not stain or discolor. First, remove the ornament and place it in the storage box we provide. Dust the stand by gently wiping it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Carefully remount the ornament if you are displaying it year round. If not, put the cleaned stand back in the Indestructo storage box we provided.

Painted Gold:  First, remove the ornament from the display stand, wipe it gently with a clean, dry cloth and place it in the sheer pouch or velvet pouch that we provided. Gently wipe the stand with a soft cloth. Do not use water. Carefully remount the ornament if you are displaying it year round. If not, put the cleaned stand back in the storage box we provided.

Painted Silver:  First, remove the ornament from the display stand, wipe it gently with a clean, dry cloth and place it in the sheer pouch or velvet pouch that we provided. Gently wipe the stand with a soft cloth. Do not use water. Carefully remount the ornament if you are displaying it year round. If not, put the cleaned stand back in the storage box we provided.

Silver-plated: Our silver plated ornament stands and trees are lacquered and should never need polishing. However, should your stand develop dark spots called "tarnish" from exposure to sulfur in the air it can be gently cleaned. To remove those stains, gently rub with a soft cloth dampened by a few drops of a fine quality silver polish that is approved for use on lacquered silver plate. Follow the cleaning product instructions. Carefully remount the ornament if you are displaying it year round. If not, place your cleaned ornament stand in the Indestructo storage box. 

Store all KCIC metal ornament stands, ornament trees and ornament hangers in a cool, dry area out of direct heat, moisture or sunlight until you are ready to display them again.
