Caring for Mahjong Tiles
Tile Care Essentials
Store Them Beautifully
Cool, Dry, and Protected
Keep your tiles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, windows, or excess humidity.
Long-term exposure to heat or moisture can lead to fading, warping, or damage to the finish.
Your set was designed to last. Storing it properly helps ensure it does.
After Each Game
Gentle Cleaning After Play
Gently wipe tiles with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, or oils from handling.
For anything slightly more stubborn, use a lightly damp microfibre cloth or gentle baby wipe, followed immediately by drying with a soft cloth.
Deep Cleaning
Refresh With Care
When your tiles need a more thorough refresh, use lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
Gently wipe each tile, rinse carefully if needed, and dry immediately and completely.
Never allow water to sit around edges or seams.
Always Spot Test First
Protect the Finish
Before using any new cleaner, cloth, or polishing product, test it first on a less visible tile to ensure compatibility with your set's finish.
Protect the Finish
What to Avoid
Extreme Heat
Avoid leaving your tiles in hot cars, enclosed storage spaces, or areas with excessive heat exposure. High temperatures can warp tiles and compromise finishes over time.
Harsh Chemicals
Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, abrasive products, or strong solvents. These can dull surfaces, damage detailing, or strip protective finishes.
Soaking
Your tiles should never be submerged in water or left damp for extended periods. Moisture trapped over time may impact both appearance and structure.
Heavy Pressure
Do not place heavy objects on top of stored tiles. Pressure over time can lead to dents, edge damage, or warping.
Direct Sunlight
Prolonged UV exposure may fade pigments, yellow edges, or soften the crisp detailing that makes your set so special.
