Beyond the Beauty: The Essential Guide to Caring for Your Resin Trays

Your stunning resin tray from Esselle SF is more than just a decorative piece; it's a versatile accent that adds a touch of handmade charm to any space. Whether it’s corralling your favorite jewelry, serving as a chic catch-all on your entryway table, or displaying your skincare essentials, you want to keep it looking its best. With the proper care, your resin tray will maintain its gorgeous luster and durability for years to come.

This guide will walk you through the simple yet essential steps to ensure your treasured resin tray remains a beautiful and functional part of your home decor.

The Do's of Resin Tray Care

• Do clean with a soft touch. For routine cleaning, a simple wipe-down with a soft, damp microfiber cloth is all you need. This will remove dust and minor smudges without scratching the surface.

• Do use gentle soap for tougher spots. If you encounter a more stubborn mark, a small amount of mild dish soap and warm water will do the trick. Gently lather the spot and wipe it clean with a fresh, damp cloth.

• Do dry thoroughly. After cleaning, always dry your resin tray completely with a soft, dry cloth. This prevents water spots and ensures a streak-free shine.

• Do display with care. While our resin trays are durable, it’s best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the resin to yellow over time.

The Don'ts of Resin Tray Care

• Don't use harsh chemicals. Abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based products, and acetone can damage the glossy finish of your resin tray, leaving it dull and scratched. Stick to mild soap and water for the best results.

• Don't place hot items directly on the tray. While cured resin is relatively heat resistant, extreme heat can cause it to soften or warp. Use coasters or trivets for hot mugs or dishes. Our resin trays are intended for decorative and organizational purposes.

• Don't use it as a cutting surface. Sharp objects like knives will scratch and permanently damage the surface of your resin tray.

• Don't put it in the dishwasher or microwave. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can ruin the finish and structure of your tray. Similarly, a microwave is a definite no-go.

By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure that your Esselle SF resin tray remains a cherished piece in your home for years to come, continuing to bring a touch of artisanal beauty to your everyday life.
