If minor mold spots appear, immediately wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth and allow to air dry. 2. Collision and Fall Prevention: Although gourds have a certain hardness, please avoid collisions with hard objects or drops from high places to prevent dents or cracks on the surface. 3. Handling Precautions: If you intend to touch or handle the gourd with your hands, please ensure your hands are clean.
