Wooden idols are durable, but a little care goes a long way. Keep idols away from direct, prolonged sunlight, which can dry and crack the wood over time.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Every year or two, a light application of natural wood oil helps maintain the finish and prevents the wood from drying out.

With basic care, a well-made wooden idol easily lasts multiple generations.
