Quick Answer

To keep your Apothecary Diaries acrylic stand vibrant and scratch-free, clean it gently with a microfiber cloth, avoid direct sunlight, and use a stable flat surface for display.

Why Acrylic Stands Need Special Care

Acrylic is lightweight and clear, but it scratches more easily than glass. The printed design on stands like the Winter Scene MaoMao & Jinshi can fade if exposed to harsh light or moisture. A little routine care keeps the artwork sharp for years.

Choosing the Right Display Spot

Place your stand on a stable shelf or desk where it won't get knocked over. Avoid windowsills or areas with direct sunlight, which can yellow the acrylic over time. A spot away from humid bathrooms or kitchens also prevents clouding.

Step-by-Step Care and Display Guide

  1. Unbox Carefully: Remove the protective film slowly. If it resists, peel from a corner rather than yanking, which can scratch the surface. Keep the film if you plan to store the stand later.
  2. Clean Gently: Use a soft microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water. Wipe in one direction. Never use paper towels, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners—they leave micro-scratches. Dry immediately with a separate dry microfiber cloth to avoid water spots.
  3. Assemble on a Flat Surface: Insert the base tab into the stand slot at a slight angle, then press down evenly. Avoid forcing it straight in, which can crack the acrylic edge. If the fit feels too tight, lightly sand the tab edge with fine-grit sandpaper (1000+).
  4. Position Away from Sunlight: Place the stand where it receives indirect light only. UV rays can fade the printed design and yellow the acrylic within months. Rotate the stand occasionally if it's in a spot with uneven light.
  5. Dust Weekly: Use a dry microfiber cloth or a soft makeup brush to remove dust. Avoid canned air, which can blow dust into crevices and leave residue. For stubborn dust, lightly breathe on the surface to create moisture, then wipe.
  6. Store Flat When Not Displayed: Place the stand and base between two sheets of acid-free tissue paper inside a sturdy box. Never stack heavy items on top. Reapply the original protective film if you still have it.
