Care & Use :
Ceramic
● Routine Care: After cooling, gently tap
out ash; wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove ash or light oil marks;
avoid abrasive pads
● Deep Cleaning: Soak in warm water + mild
dish soap for 15–30 min, clean with a soft brush; for stubborn scorch marks,
apply baking soda paste and gently scrub; avoid sudden temperature changes (hot
to cold)
● Usage & Safety: Use a ceramic ash
plate or fill with incense ash (keep loose) for stick/coil placement; some are
dishwasher-safe (check product info)
● Avoid: Avoid strong acids/alkalis; no
steel wool; no rapid cooling while hot
Wood
● Routine Care: After cooling, gently tap
out ash; wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove ash or light oil marks;
avoid abrasive pads
● Deep Cleaning: For light oil/smoke
stains, use mild soap solution sparingly, then dry and air out; never soak
● Usage & Safety: Avoid direct burning
of charcoal/resin; place on a heat-resistant ceramic plate; prevent scratches
or charring
● Avoid: No solvents or harsh chemicals;
no prolonged water exposure; avoid direct high heat
Stone
● Routine Care: After cooling, dust with a
soft cloth; clean with mild detergent or neutral soap and warm water, then dry
thoroughly
● Deep Cleaning: Soapstone can be
conditioned with a thin layer of mineral oil/wax (will darken color);
marble/limestone should avoid acidic cleaners
● Usage & Safety: Handle with care to
avoid chipping; some soapstone burners should not contact essential oils
● Avoid: Avoid acids (especially for
marble types); avoid sharp or hard objects scratching the surface
Metal
● Routine Care: After cooling, empty ash;
wipe with a dry cloth or soft brush; wash with warm water + mild dish soap,
then dry completely
● Deep Cleaning: For stubborn residue,
apply baking soda paste and gently scrub; use brass polish for uncoated brass;
for charcoal burning, use sand/ash as a heat buffer
● Usage & Safety: Use tongs for
charcoal; for resin, use a metal screen with foil lining, or freeze then tap
off residue
● Avoid: Avoid acidic soaking; avoid
abrasive scrubbing pads that can scratch
TIPS:
General Maintenance TipsKeep your
burner clean and dry before and after useAlways allow the burner to cool
completely before cleaningFor ash burners, fill with loose incense ash up to
70–80% full, and sift, fluff, and level weeklyFor backflow burners with oil
residue, use warm soapy water first; for stubborn stains, a small amount of
isopropyl alcohol (spot test first)For resin residue, use a metal mesh with
foil, freeze and tap off, or boil in water with baking soda
