Learn how to clean and style your Maison Sarah Lavoine Bougeoir Slave in Bleu Sarah. Tips for maintaining the ceramic finish and arranging candle holders.
Quick Answer
To keep your Bougeoir Slave Bleu Sarah looking its best, clean it gently with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Arrange multiple holders in varied heights for a balanced tablescape.
Why Care Matters for Ceramic Candle Holders
The Bougeoir Slave Bleu Sarah is made from local clay and mineral earthenware, giving it a matte, slightly textured finish. This surface can absorb soot and wax if not cleaned regularly. Because the glaze is delicate, abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads may leave permanent scratches.
Storing the holder in a dry place and keeping it away from direct drafts will also help maintain its color and structure. The iconic Bleu Sarah glaze is vibrant but can fade if exposed to prolonged sunlight.
How to Clean and Style Your Bougeoir Slave Bleu Sarah
- Remove wax and soot after each use: Wait for the candle holder to cool completely. Gently peel off any hardened wax. For stubborn residue, place the holder in the freezer for 15 minutes—the wax will contract and pop off easily. Avoid using metal tools that could chip the ceramic. Freezing is safer than scraping; never use a knife or metal scraper.
- Clean the ceramic with a soft, damp cloth: Wipe the interior and exterior with a microfiber cloth dipped in lukewarm water. If needed, add a drop of mild dish soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry immediately with a soft towel. Do not submerge the holder in water—the porous clay can absorb moisture and cause cracking. Submerging can damage the earthenware; stick to spot cleaning.
- Arrange multiple holders for visual impact: Group two or three Bougeoir Slave holders in different heights (the option includes size variants) on a tray or shelf. Place the tallest at the back and the shortest at the front. For a cohesive look, keep all holders in the same Bleu Sarah color. Vary candle heights to add depth. Odd numbers (2–3) and varied sizes create the most balanced arrangement.
