Although jade is hard, it can easily crack upon impact. Even if invisible to the naked eye, this can damage the molecular structure within the jade's surface, causing internal cracks. Minimize exposure to dust. For daily cleaning of jade items with dust, use a soft brush or a damp cloth. If dirt or oil stains adhere to the jade surface, use warm, very dilute soapy water to remove the oil, then rinse with clean water. Do not use chemical degreasers. Avoid contact with perfumes, chemical liquids, soaps, and body sweat. Avoid contact with ice water and prolonged sun exposure, as the expansion and contraction of jade can affect its quality. Jade requires a certain level of humidity to maintain its luster. In summary, Hetian jade has "three taboos" and "four fears." The three taboos are: avoid oil, avoid fishy odors, and avoid dirt. The four fears are: fear of ice, fear of fire, fear of ginger water, and fear of sudden shock. Oil, fishy odors, dirt, ice, fire, and ginger water can all damage the quality of Hetian jade. Fear of sudden shock refers to the wearer being startled or accidentally dropping the jade, which can be fatal to the jade.
