Caring for the products
Pashima shawls
1. Fill a clean sink or basin with cool water. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the wool fibers.
2. Add a small amount of mild detergent to the water and mix it gently. Use a detergent that is specifically formulated for wool or delicate fabrics.
3. Place the pashmina in the water and gently swirl it around for a few minutes. Avoid rubbing or twisting the fabric, as this can cause damage.
4. Drain the soapy water and refill the sink or basin with cool, clean water. Rinse the pashmina thoroughly, making sure to remove all traces of soap.
5. Gently press the excess water out of the pashmina with your hands. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can cause it to lose its shape.
6. Lay the pashmina flat on a clean, dry towel and roll it up to remove any remaining water. Unroll the towel and reshape the pashmina as needed.
7. Lay the pashmina flat on a clean, dry surface and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid hanging the pashmina, as this can cause it to stretch out of shape.
Paper Mache
1. Keep it dry: Paper mache can be sensitive to moisture, so it’s important to keep it dry. Avoid exposing it to water or other liquids, and store it in a dry place if possible.
2. Dust regularly: To keep your paper mache object looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the surface.
3. Store carefully: If you need to store your paper mache object, wrap it in acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap to protect it from dust and damage. Avoid storing it in a humid or damp environment.
4. Avoid direct sunlight: Paper mache can be sensitive to light, so it’s best to avoid displaying it in direct sunlight or other bright, harsh lighting conditions. UV rays can cause the colors to fade and the paper to become brittle.

Earrings/Rings
1. Clean them regularly: Earrings can accumulate dirt, oil, and other substances from daily wear, so it’s important to clean them regularly. Use a soft cloth or a small brush to gently wipe away any dirt or debris.
2. Store them properly: When you’re not wearing your earrings, store them in a jewelry box or another safe and dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade.
3. Avoid exposure to chemicals: Earrings can be sensitive to chemicals, so it’s important to avoid exposing them to things like perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products. These substances can damage the surface of the earrings or cause discoloration.
