You can dust off your wooden figure with a dry cloth. The deepest points of the carving can be cleaned with a brush. Please do not use a wet cloth in case of painted or stained statues.

The wood that we use for the realization of the carvings is stored in a special drying chamber so that the moisture is completely removed. This is why the woodcarvings are not going to crack.
