Details
1. Embrace UniquenessNatural Variations:
- Bamboo, pine, and reeds are organic materials, each with distinct grains, textures, and hues.
- These variations are not flaws but signatures of nature’s artistry, making your LUYI piece truly one-of-a-kind.
- Aging Gracefully: Over time, bamboo may develop a soft patina, while pine and reeds deepen in color, enhancing their character and story.
2. Avoid Extreme EnvironmentsHumidity:
- Bamboo thrives in balanced environments. Avoid placing your LUYI piece in overly humid spaces (e.g., saunas) to prevent warping or mold.
- Dryness: Similarly, keep it away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) or excessively dry climates, which may cause cracking.
- Ideal Conditions: Maintain a stable indoor humidity level (40-60%) and temperature (18-24°C) for longevity.
3. Gentle CleaningDust Regularly:
- Use a soft, dry cloth or microfiber duster to remove surface dust. For woven reed panels, a gentle brush can reach intricate patterns.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water. Wipe gently and immediately dry with a soft towel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
4. Sunlight & PlacementIndirect Light:
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may fade bamboo and reeds. Position your LUYI piece in areas with filtered or indirect light.
- Rotation: For even aging, rotate or reposition your piece occasionally, especially if one side receives more light or airflow.
5. Seasonal CareHumid Seasons:
- Use a dehumidifier or silica gel packets nearby to absorb excess moisture.
- Dry Seasons: Lightly condition bamboo and pine with a natural wood polish (test on a small area first) to prevent drying.
6. Handling & Movement "Lift, Don’t Drag":
- When moving your LUYI piece, lift it carefully to avoid stress on joints or hinges.
- Folding Screens: For room dividers, fold panels gently and avoid forcing hinges.
