Care Instruction:
Tenkozan dyes are naturally produced from plants that we grow and process here. They are not chemically stabilized or fixed.
For best results, arrange your altar out of direct sunlight. If necessary, spot clean with a damp cloth. To remove a wax spill, lay brown craft paper (or paper bag) over the wax and iron until the wax soaks into the paper. Move to a fresh area of the paper and iron. Repeat until no more wax is soaking into paper.
