Clean immediately: After each use, promptly discard tea leaves and rinse the inside and outside with clean water to prevent deep tea stains. 2. Dry immediately: The key to maintenance is moisture prevention. After rinsing, be sure to thoroughly dry with a soft, dry cloth or paper towel, especially the moisture inside the holes. 3. Ventilate frequently: Place in a ventilated area on the tea table to dry completely. Do not store in a sealed container before it is completely dry to prevent mold growth. 4. Rub often: During leisure time, gently handle and rub with clean hands or a soft cloth. Over time, the gourd will develop a natural patina, like jade or honey, with a captivating luster.
