Congratulations! You now own one of the finest windchimes available. By following these few simple steps to care for your chime, you can enjoy its beautiful sound for many years to come. Every part of your chime is weather protected. Over time, however, those layers of protection can begin to wear. We suggest that you periodically apply a thin coat of Danish or lemon oil with a clean cloth or brush to the hardwood parts. Regular oiling will protect the wood and retard the natural aging process. Aluminum may naturally pit when placed outdoors. You should occasionally wash the tubes, plastic or glass chime parts with mild soap and water.
