Can this be used indoors?
This product is designed for outdoor use. Indoor placement may not allow for adequate sunlight for the solar component and could lead to damage.

How do I clean the rustic finish?
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Spinner is not spinning freely.
Check for any obstructions around the blades or the central pivot. Ensure it's not leaning against anything. Lightly lubricate the pivot point if necessary.
Solar light is not turning on or is dim.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check if the 'on/off' switch (if applicable) is set to 'on'. The light may take a few nights to fully charge initially.
Rustic finish appears to be fading.
This is a natural characteristic of rustic finishes. For longevity, consider applying a clear outdoor sealant suitable for metal, or bring indoors during prolonged periods of extreme weather.
