Tin: Wash with soap and water; wipe with white vinegar dampened cloth, then rinse with water and let dry completely.
Glass/Ceramic: Wash with soap and water; wipe with rubbing alcohol dampened cloth.
Terra Cotta: Wipe clean; seal pot interior with paint or two coats of FolkArt Waterbase Sealer. If terra cotta will not be used as a planter, simply paint.

Rigid Plastic: Wipe clean with damp cloth.
Paper Mache: Wipe clean with damp cloth.
