So you've purchased or been given your one-of-a-kind Gallagher wooden statue and you absolutely love it. Now you worry about how to protect it from every day happenings. Here are some useful tips:

• Place your wooden statue in a place that is somewhat protected, like shown in the photo above.
• If you have pets that are playful, arrange for playtime in a room or area that your statue is not in.
• Don't place your statue in direct sunlight. Over time the UV rays will damage it's finish.
• Keep your wooden statue away from fireplaces, radiators, and other heat sources, including ovens, boilers, and heating vents.
• Maintain an indoor temperature of 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity level of 50 to 55 percent to prevent your wooden statue from drying out and splitting.
• Run a home dehumidifier to maintain a relative indoor humidity of about 50 percent.
• Position your wooden statue away from sources of moisture, such as steam from the kitchen or from the bathroom.
• Make sure your entire home is mold-free, as mold spores growing on other surfaces may affect your wood statue as well.

So you've had your beautiful Gallagher Wooden Statue for a while now, but it may be starting to get dusty and dirty. Here are a few tips to safely clean it and keep it looking beautiful:

• Wipe down the statue with a dry washcloth. This will remove the dust. While washing can remove dirt and grime, getting rid of the initial dust requires only a dry cloth and wiping the statue.
• Fill a bucket with water and add a wood safe soap to the water. Exact measurements of soap to water ratios will differ for each soap and concentration. Usually, a capful of soap to a bucket of water is appropriate.
• Dip the washcloth into the soapy water and wipe down the wooden statue with the wet and soapy washcloth. Remove all of the dirt from the statue, rinsing out the washcloth as necessary.
