Cleaning and care

My handmade paper lampshades can mark easily, therefore only handle carefully and with clean hands.

Please be mindful not to clean with any water. You can use a soft cloth or a feather duster to carefully wipe them down.

Suitable areas of use

The lampshades are only suitable for use inside and in relatively dry environments.

I recommend to avoid direct sun exposure as it might change colouring over time.

I would not recommend placing the lampshade in a room with extreme variation of temperatures or humidity, as can be the case in bathrooms.

Choosing the right light bulb

All lampshades are lined with a fire-resistant card which complies with European and British Standard. To avoid any marks and for safety reasons it's important to use the right light bulbs.

I generally recommend to use energy efficient low wattage light bulbs, no higher than a 20 wattage for the Nano, Mini and Petite sizes.

For sizes larger than Petite or Petite Empire you can use bulbs with a wattage no higher than 40.
