Use a Soft Brush – Gently sweep away dust with a makeup or fine art brush, following the paper’s grain.

Use a hair dryer at cold setting at slow speed  Hold it at a distance to blow off loose dust without bending delicate parts.

Erase Light Smudges – Roll a white vinyl or kneaded eraser lightly—never rub harshly.

Absorb Grease Stains – Dab cornstarch or talcum powder on oily marks, wait, then brush off.

Spot-Clean Carefully – Use a barely damp cotton swab with distilled water only to blot stains—never rub. Pat cleaned areas dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent warping.

Avoid Liquids – Water is a desperate last resort; excess moisture will weaken or distort the sculpture.

Prevent Future Dust – Display under glass or acrylic, or store in acid-free boxes with tissue paper.

Never Use Harsh Cleaners – Avoid alcohol, solvents, or commercial sprays—they will damage paper fibers.
