Lac, a natural resin, is used as a surface finish and natural dyes are used for coloring. Lac is a durable surface finish that can be polished to give an attractive shiny appearance. With proper care and handling, lacware toys can have a long life. The following is information on the care and handling of our toys.

• Protect from impact/ sharp blows:
  Lac is a brittle material that is applied as a thin surface coating on toys. Sharp blows and impact against hard surfaces can result in the lac chipping from the surface
• Protect from Alcohol / spirits:
  Lac dissolves in spirit. Contact with alcohol can damage the lac coating and the the bright shine may be lost.
• Protect from adverse temperature changes
  Lacware toys are indoor toys and should be protected from very hot and cold weather conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight for long periods can result in the fading of the colors.
• Protect from water / moisture
  Contact with water or prolonged exposure to moisture can result in the absorption of moisture by the wood through unprotected surfaces such as orifices and joints. The resulting expansion and contraction of wood can lead to the pealing off of the lac coating
• Cleaning the toys
  The wooden lacware toys should be cleaned with a dry cloth. When required, the toys can be wiped with a moist cloth and immediately dried with a dry towel.
