My premium pot has black spots – what should I do?

Why does my pot have tiny pores, and how do I keep it clean?

Due to the handcrafted process, pores are a characteristic feature of these pots. These pores are tiny holes in the surface and can attract dirt. To keep your pot looking beautiful:

  • Filling tips: Never fill the pot completely to the rim with soil. Cover the rim with plastic, foil, or cardboard while filling. This ensures a clean and neat finish.

  • Cleaning advice: Clean your pots 1–2 times a year using warm water with mild detergent and a tiny splash of bleach. Rinse thoroughly afterwards for sparkling clean pots. A high-pressure hose can also be effective.

  • Extra help: You can request a free cleaning kit via our service parts page.

Following these steps will keep your pots looking their best year after year.

 

How do I clean my elho flower pot or planter?

To keep your pots and planters looking their best, we recommend cleaning them regularly. Mix warm water with a splash of cleaning vinegar or a little natural soap, and use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any residue. Avoid scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.

For stubborn spots, you can try a mild solution of water with baking soda, or use a plastic cleaner designed for this purpose.

Please note: Avoid harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the material.
