Care Instructions for Crystal Pokéballs: Cleaning, Maintenance, and Protective Storage

For many customers, a crystal Pokéball stops being a collectible and becomes more of a decorative element adding light and character to spaces for years to come. To keep a Pokéball clear and brilliant, dirt accumulation must be controlled and the ball must be handled gently and stored correctly. Each diamond crystal Pokéball can remain clear, free of scratches, and displayable for many years if properly cared for.

Cleaning steps to maintain clarity:

Please turn off and unplug the LED base before starting. Gently take the Pokéball off and set it on a soft surface (like a microfiber cloth). Dust can be a cause of fine scratches, so before the cleaning steps, take a dry microfiber or other soft cloth and dry dust the surface.

Cleaning goes quicker if you use a damp cloth, as long as it’s just water (no harsh cleaners or alcohol, as these remove the crystal’s finish). Clean the surface slowly, with circular and gentle motions so you don’t cause fine scratches. To avoid water spots and streaky marks, dry the area with a clean, dry cloth.

Ways to Limit Fingerprints and Surface Marks

Fingerprints are a common problem with crystal décor. When handling the crystal Pokéball, hold it with clean, dry hands, or use a the soft cloth as a barrier. If possible, avoid touching the middle of the sphere because this section is the most visible to the light. If you often rearrange your décor, a microfiber cloth is good to have within reach so you can easily do surface touch-ups and avoid oil build up.

How to Reduce Scratching During Normal Everyday Us-It-Usage

Your crystal Pokéball should be placed on an even, stable surface. If your LED base does not have a protective base, you should add a thin piece of felt or a silicone pad to be courteous to the crystal. Keep the crystal a good distance away from anything sharp, as well as, avoid stacked décor, or anything easily bumpable or would knock it over, especially if there is a pet or a child around.

Storing the Item Safely When Not on Display

In the event you need to store your crystal Pokéball, it is always recommended to wrap each piece in a soft cloth or bubble wrap and then store them in a strong box. Do not stack brittle and breakable crystals on top of each other, as certain crystals can scratch one another. Store the box in a cold and dry place to avoid having your box in direct sunlight to maintain clarity.

When taken care of routinely and handled gently, the crystal Pokéball stays a lovely and radiant, polished, decorative piece.
