2. Cleaning
1. Placement & Environment
  • Keep the products indoors or in covered spaces protected from direct rain and harsh sunlight.

  • Avoid placing near heat sources like stoves or direct air from AC vents.

  • Maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent expansion or cracks.

A few simple tips to maintain your Chithira Maadam woodies :
  • Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth.

  • For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth - avoid wet wiping.

  • Carved panels and statues should be dusted gently with a brush or blower.

3. Polishing & Finishes
  • Our products come pre-finished with minimal chemicals, using sealer and wood polish

  • You can re-polish once every few years if the wood looks dry or dull

  • Avoid using chemical sprays or polishes unless specifically recommended. Feel free to contact us for guidance.

  • Handle large products like doors and mandapams with care during movement.

  • For temple carts or other heavier products, discuss handling with us before relocating.

  • If wall-mounted, use sturdy brackets and professional installation.
