Quick Answer

To keep your officially licensed Destiny Bauble Heads ornaments in top condition, clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth and store them in a sturdy, padded container away from heat and moisture.

Why Gentle Cleaning Matters

Bauble Heads ornaments are collectible decorations with printed designs and a glossy finish. Harsh cleaners or abrasive cloths can scratch the surface or fade the colors, so it's best to avoid them.

Dust and fingerprints are the most common issues. A quick, gentle wipe before storing keeps them looking fresh for next year.

Storing for the Off-Season

Proper storage protects your ornaments from scratches, humidity, and temperature changes. A sturdy box with individual compartments or soft wrapping is ideal.

Avoid attics or basements where temperature and moisture fluctuate, as these can damage the ornament's finish over time.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage

  1. Inspect your ornament: Check for loose parts or damage before cleaning. If the hanging loop feels loose, stop and reinforce it before handling further. Catching damage early prevents further issues.
  2. Dust with a soft, dry cloth: Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface, removing dust and fingerprints. Avoid water or cleaning sprays, which can damage the finish. Never use abrasive materials or liquid cleaners.
  3. Handle by the loop or base: Hold the ornament by its hanging loop or the top of the head to avoid smudging the printed design. Oils from your hands can leave marks. Minimizing contact keeps the surface clean longer.
  4. Wrap individually for storage: Wrap each ornament in soft tissue paper or a lint-free cloth. Place them in a sturdy box with dividers or individual compartments to prevent knocking. Individual wrapping prevents scratches during storage.
  5. Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the box in a closet or cupboard away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. Avoid attics or basements that experience temperature swings. Stable conditions preserve the ornament's colors and finish.
