Tips & Warnings

• Since it is always better to be safe than sorry.... for very old or elaborately decorated Limoges... test a small area with a cotton ball that has been dipped in the solution. Hold it in place for several seconds; rinse and repeat to make sure your decoration is color-fast.
• This treatment is NOT RECOMMENDED for soft-paste porcelain, bone china, or porcelain that has not been kiln glazed.
