- Diya stand
- Two soft non-abrasive cloths
- Care instructions for the stand
- Mild cleaner only if approved for the finish
- Stable heat-resistant tray
- Suitable plain diya or LED lamp
Step-by-step instructions
- Remove any lamp and wait until the stand is completely cool. Inspect it for loose joints, cracks, sharp edges and old oil residue.
- Check whether the stand is lacquered, plated, painted or antique. If you cannot identify the finish, limit cleaning to gentle dry dusting and ask the maker for advice.
- Wipe dust with a soft cloth, supporting delicate parts. Use only the cleaning method approved for the finish; avoid routine lemon, salt or abrasive scrubbing.
- If the approved method uses water, remove residue and dry the stand thoroughly, including recesses where moisture can collect.
- Set the stand on a stable heat-resistant tray. Check that the intended lamp fits securely and cannot rock or spill.
- Arrange away from cloth, flowers and passing sleeves. Use an LED if the stand is decorative or its suitability for a flame is unknown.
Good to know
- Do not polish antique or plated pieces with an abrasive household mixture.
- A stable base matters more than a mirror finish.
- Keep cleaning products away from food and offerings.
