To use this jug, you can fill it with fresh flowers to create a beautiful centerpiece on your table. You can also use it to hold small items like pencils or makeup brushes. When cleaning, simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the terracotta. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking. If you notice any dirt in the hard - to - reach areas, you can use a small brush to gently clean them.
