All items must be returned in the condition that they were received; free of any greasy fingerprints, wax, flower debris, food and beverage residue, chalk, tape, etc. All items in our inventory are unique, hard to find, vintage, or handmade, so please take care of them. Do your best to package all items back in original boxes and packaging.
FURNITURE
Please make sure to clean all food and debris off our tables and furniture pieces prior to returning them. Removing food and beverage debris promptly helps keep our rentals in great condition.
If one of our upholstered furniture pieces gets dirty, please leave it for us to handle. We have all natural stain remover, and a little green machine, to properly and safely clean our upholstered furniture.
CANDLES
If you plan on burning candles in the jars, you must put sand, pebbles, or water in as a base. Typically a 1/4 in. of water is plenty to puddle wax if it spills. Remove any smoke residue or wax before returning. After blowing out your candles, give the wax a chance to harden a bit to limit the amount of wax spill on our vases.
OTHER ITEMS & WAX REMOVAL TIPS
Do not immerse any wire baskets or items with wire into water to prevent rusting. Feel free to decorate/spruce up any of our items to fit your needs and wants. If you choose to add any twine, string, fabric, etc., to any rentals, remove them completely before returning them. If you are having trouble removing sticky residue, we recommend using lemon or orange oil. It’s all natural and works wonderfully. If you are trying to remove spilled wax, try placing the item in the sun. Once it’s warmed up, you can easily wipe the wax from the vessel. You can also try freezing the item for an hour or two, no longer. The wax should harden enough to pop off with a spoon or butter knife.
CHALKBOARDS
All chalkboard items must be returned clean. If you plan on using a chalk-pen (liquid chalk) make sure to test your pen first, as do stain the chalkboards. In the event that your chalkboard is returned with writing, we will remove it, and will repaint if necessary.
CHARGERS, COLORED GLASS, APOTHECARY JARS & DRINK DISPENSERS
All apothecary jars and drink dispensers must be washed by hand. When washing drink dispensers, make sure to run warm water through the spout. Dry the item completely before packaging back up.
MASON JARS, BOTTLES & OTHER GLASS ITEMS
Do not run any of the vases or decorated mason jars through the dishwasher. Please carefully wash only the inside of the mason jars wrapped with burlap and lace, as well as the mason jars wrapped with twine, trying to keep the outside as dry as possible. You can spot clean the lace and twine if needed with a damp cloth. All hanging jars must also be cleaned by hand, keeping the raffia wrapped wire as dry as possible while cleaning. Make sure all other jars and vases are cleaned thoroughly inside and out. If you are using jars for food/drink, please make sure that sugar crystals, fruit garnishes, & all sticky residue is removed & that they are dry before boxing up. Make sure to dry all vases and jars by hand so they remain free of water spots.
VINTAGE MASON JARS
Only use flameless candles in vintage mason jars. Do not burn candles in vintage mason jars, as they cannot handle the heat a candle gives off, and can explode!! Because they are not sanitized and also have rough edges around the rim, they are also unsuitable to drink from.
BURLAP
Do not put anything made out of burlap in the washing machine, as it will ruin the item. If something does spill on the burlap items, blot the area with a damp sponge. Do not rub the item, just blot gently, and then blot dry with a towel. If the stain remains after you have tried to blot it clean, still return the item to us so we can work our magic on them.
