How to Use and Care for Your Clay Diyas
-
The Initial Soak: Before using for the first time, soak the lamps in water for 1–2 hours. This prevents the clay from absorbing too much oil and ensures a longer-lasting flame.
-
Filling: Once dried, place a cotton wick and fill with your choice of oil or Ghee.
-
Cleaning: After use, gently wipe away excess oil with a soft cloth. If washing, use plain warm water; avoid chemical soaps to maintain the clay’s natural integrity.
-
Placement: Always place the diya on a heat-resistant surface or a small plate to protect your furniture from any minor oil seepage, which is natural for porous clay.
