Troubleshooting
Sand is not flowing smoothly.
Ensure the hourglass is on a perfectly level surface. Gently tap the side of the glass to dislodge any stuck sand. If the issue persists, check for any internal obstructions (though this is rare).
Glass appears cloudy or dirty.
Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a mild glass cleaner sparingly and buff dry with a lint-free cloth.
Timer seems to run slightly faster or slower than 30 minutes.
