The black figurines can be smudged by other materials - including paper, cardboard and dry cloths. This can result in dry, white areas. The white figurines takes on dark smudges.

When you have cleaned the figurines, a small amount of fatty substance should be applied to preserve a uniform surface. It should not be so much that it becomes shiny, but only so that the surface becomes uniform again. You can use different types of fatty substance, for example regular hand cream. Moisten a little cloth with the cream and lightly spread it over the figurine. Immediately you will see the result. The treatment will last until the next washing.
