Frequently Asked Questions

Does the beige stone stain easily?

Lighter soapstone shows marks a little more than black, mainly from oil on hands. A wipe with a soft damp cloth removes most of it - avoid keeping it right next to a cooking surface.

Is the lid removable?

Yes, it lifts off completely so you can refill the bottle. Both the lid and rim are hand-cut, so the fit is snug rather than mechanical.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Dust it regularly with a soft dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately, and keep harsh chemicals, bleach and steel scrubbers away from the stone.

Can I use it for something other than incense?

It also works well for dried flowers, thin decorative reeds or diffuser sticks, though it was designed around the length of a standard agarbatti.

Is each piece identical to the one shown in the images?

The design, size and finish stay the same, but natural stone carries its own grain and colour tone. Minor variation in shade, veining and carving detail is expected in hand-carved soapstone and makes each piece unique.

Handcrafted in India from natural soapstone. As every piece is carved and polished by hand, slight variations in shade, veining and carving detail are natural and make your piece one of a kind.
