Don’ts:
• NO HOT WATER AS PLA WARPS AT 60-65 °C (140-150 °F). 🚫🔥💦
• Please do not use harsh chemical cleaners with the products.
• We do not encourage improper use such as scratching, dropping or knocking the products against hard surfaces.
Dos:
• Wash and clean with cold or room temperature water.
• Deep clean by using a soap dish or wiping the surfaces with alcohol, baking soda and vinegar solutions (although do not soak them for a long period).
• Keep products away from direct/strong sunlight, hot areas, and heat sources.

🍄 MYCELIUM 🥥
‘Mycelium’, a root-like structure of mushrooms.
Mycelium-based composites can be grown by combining byproducts like sawdust, straw, coco peat, and coffee grounds with mushroom spawn — the resulting mycelium composite can be used in packaging and interior products such as lampshades, temporary bricks, wall decors, and acoustic panels. The mycelium-based material is fire retardant, water repellent, lightweight, and has competent insulation properties.

All products are designed to be used indoors only, unless otherwise specified for outdoor use. Each product will feature unique colour and surface variations.
Don’ts:
• PLEASE DO NOT USE WATER ON THE PRODUCTS. 🚫💦
• Please do not use harsh chemical cleaners with the products.
• We do not encourage improper use such as bending, pressing, scratching, dropping or knocking the products against hard surfaces.
Dos:
• Keep products away from highly humid areas.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface with nails or sharp objects.
• Wipe off the products if they become wet.
• Wipe the products with a soft towel gently for surface cleaning. You may use a little water if needed.
• Store products in a cool, ventilated place to ensure that no mould can form.
• Please be aware that this material is 100% natural (home and marine compostable). In tropical climates, the material might attract some insects such as tobacco beetles. [In the progress of R&D for a natural or non-toxic coating to prevent insects in the future]
• Please keep in mind that a certain degree of discolouration is to be expected since the products will always naturally react to the surroundings in which they are exposed.
-
In case the products are broken or no longer desirable, please break them down for home compost. The mycelium compost (spent mushroom compost) is high in organic matter making it desirable for use as a soil amendment/conditioner.
