Mahjong Care
Product Care
Every mahjong set is made to be enjoyed for years β played often, handed down, and treasured. Giving your tiles thoughtful care helps preserve their beauty and crisp details for generations.
Store your tiles in their original case or a soft pouch when not in use. This protects them from dust, scratches, and unnecessary handling.
Wipe tiles regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils from play.
For a deeper cleaning, use only mild soap and water on a soft cloth. Never use abrasive pads, strong cleaners, or place tiles in a dishwasher.
Avoid submerging tiles in water or any liquid for extended periods, as this can affect the finish or inlaid details.
Handle tiles gently. While they are durable, sudden drops or hard impacts should be prevented.
Keep tiles away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Never leave them in a hot car or near heat sources, as this can cause fading or warping.
Minor differences in shading, slight surface wear, or a developing patina are completely normal with artisan-made tiles. These small signs of use are not flaws β they're proof of a well-loved set cherished through countless joyful games.
Your mahjong mat is designed for regular use and easy maintenance. Proper care will keep the surface smooth, the colors bright, and the fabric in great shape for many seasons of play.
Machine wash the mat on a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent.
Tumble dry on low heat or allow it to air dry fully before storing.
For quick cleanups between games, simply spot clean with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
Do not iron or bleach.
Roll the mat loosely for storage with the playing surface facing out β never fold it, as creases can become permanent.
Keep the mat away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and damp areas to prevent fading or damage. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or near heaters.
To protect the graphics, turn garments inside out before washing.
Machine wash cold on gentle with similar colors.
Dark colors should be washed separately the first few times.
Do not use fabric softener.
Hanging dry is preferred or tumble dry low while still inside out.
Iron on low but avoid the graphic.
To keep your jewelry looking its best:
Remove before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping, or applying perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics.
Avoid contact with water, chemicals, and harsh cleaners.
Gently wipe with a soft cloth after each wear.
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, ideally in individual soft pouches.
