Neon Yellow Star Earrings

To properly care for polymer clay earrings, avoid getting them wet, exposing them to harsh chemicals or excessive heat, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for removing dirt or smudges. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Avoid Moisture and Harsh Chemicals: 
• Water: 
While polymer clay is water-resistant, it's best to remove earrings before showering, swimming, or other activities involving prolonged water exposure. 
• Harsh Chemicals: 
Avoid contact with chemicals like perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage the clay or affect its appearance. 
• Makeup: 
Be mindful when applying makeup, especially near earrings, as some products can stain or damage the clay. 


Gentle Cleaning:
• Soft Cloth: Gently wipe earrings with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or smudges.
• Mild Soap and Water: For stubborn spots, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but ensure you dry the earrings thoroughly afterward.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing pads, as these can scratch or damage the clay. 


Proper Storage:
• Cool, Dry Place: Store earrings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. 
• Separate Storage: Store earrings separately, preferably in a jewelry box or pouch, to prevent scratching or tangling with other jewelry. 
• Avoid Heavy Objects: Do not place heavy objects on top of your earrings, as this can cause them to bend or break. 


Other Tips:
• Handle with Care: Polymer clay is durable but can still break if bent or dropped. 
• Put on Last: When getting dressed, put on your earrings last to minimize the risk of them coming into contact with lotions or hairspray. 
• Tarnishing: Metal components of earrings may tarnish over time. You can gently clean them with a jewelry polishing cloth.
