Essential Steps to Preserve Your Pet Memorial Urn
Keep Out Of Direct Sunlight.
Avoid placing your pet’s memorial urn in direct sunlight. Extended exposure to harsh sun rays can fade the vibrant colours of the custom photo wrap and potentially degrade the materials used in the urn's construction. Choose a display location in your home that receives indirect, natural light or has a controlled lighting setup.
Protect From Extreme Temperatures and Moisture
Keep the urn away from extreme temperature swings and dampness. Fluctuations in heat and humidity can lead to warping, surface discoloration, or structural changes to the urn. Maintain your pet's urn in a stable indoor environment with moderate, consistent temperatures—far from space heaters, air vents, or areas prone to high moisture.
Always Keep Indoors.
This pet urn is crafted exclusively for indoor display. Do not position the urn outside where it will be exposed to weather conditions such as rain, frost, wind, or direct UV rays. Indoor environments provide the steady, sheltered conditions necessary to preserve the beauty and structural integrity of the urn.
Soft Cleaning Cloth.
When dusting or cleaning the urn, always use a soft, dry cloth. This protects the outer photo film from fine scratches and preserves the original finish. Do not use any cleaning chemicals, solvents, alcohol sprays, or abrasive materials, as these will permanently damage the photo wrap and protective coating.
Please note that Rapt In Rainbows cannot be held liable for any product failure, damage, or deterioration resulting from mishandling, improper placement, or a lack of reasonable care. Each pet urn is built with extreme attention to detail, but its longevity ultimately depends on how it is handled and cared for over time. By following these care steps, you ensure your pet’s memorial remains a vibrant and lasting tribute to their place in your heart.
