Using this MacKenzie - Childs sweets jar is a breeze. You can simply open the lid by turning the clear glass knob and fill it with your favorite candies, soaps, or office items. When it comes to placement, it looks great on a kitchen counter, a bathroom vanity, or a desk. As for cleaning, you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean the glass body. For the lid, be gentle as it's hand - painted. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the floral transfers or the paint. Since each piece is handmade, expect some minor variations in the design, which just adds to its unique charm. And don't worry about storing it; it can stand upright in a cabinet or on a shelf without taking up too much space.
