CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Burnin4U recommends hand-washing your stone pieces one piece at a time in moderately hot water using a mild detergent. Use a soft cleaning cloth – do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

The interiors of pieces, which are often not easily accessible, can be cleaned with a long straw brush, nylon pipe tube cleaner and cotton pipe cleaners. A variety of pipe and brush cleaners are available for purchase in the Burnin4U accessories section. 

After washing in detergent, rinse your stone pieces well in clean water then air dry on a draining rack or hand dry with a soft lint-free cloth. The rims and thin edges are naturally the weakest part of stone pieces, so do not place stone pieces upside down on the draining rack or when storing them. When hand drying, hold the piece by the thickest part of the stone.

Repeated washing in very hot water and detergent can create microscopic fissures and cracks over time on the surface of the finest stone pieces. Burnin4U does not recommend cleaning stone pieces using a dishwasher as the extreme heat and abrasive cleaners may mark the surface and damage the finish and integrity of the pieces. Jostling in a dishwasher could also cause chipping or cracking.

To minimize cracking or breakage caused by extreme temperature variations, do not pour cold liquids into stone pieces that have just been washed in hot water. Likewise, allow chilled stone pieces to reach room temperature before immersing in hot water.

To safely remove wax from your stone candlesticks after use, place your candlestick in the freezer for 10 minutes. The wax will harden, allowing it to easily peel away. Do not use water to remove wax.
