Nurturing your taonga

To keep the mauri of your taonga strong, here are essential tips for their care, honouring the connection between our creativity and your support.

Care instructions for your treasures

Original Paintings

  • The Rā (Sun): Hang away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Cleaning: Dust only with a dry, soft cloth. No water or chemicals.

Managlow Candles

  • First Burn: Let the wax melt to the edge to prevent "tunneling."
  • The Snip: Trim the wick to 5mm before every light for a clean flame.

Tumblers & Mugs

  • Ringa Horoi: Hand wash only. Avoid the dishwasher to protect the art.
  • No Soaking: Wash, rinse, and dry immediately.

Clothing

  • Cold & Inverted: Wash inside-out in cold water.
  • Shade Dry: Hang in the shade to keep colours vibrant

Stickers & Decals

  • Surface Prep: For the best stick, clean and dry your surface thoroughly before applying.
  • Indoor Use: While durable, our stickers love indoor surfaces best to stay looking fresh and bright.

 

"Treat your taonga with aroha, and it will shine for years."
