Can I use this mirror ball outdoors?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What material are the mirrored facets made of?

Troubleshooting
Mirror ball is not reflecting light effectively.
Ensure a strong, focused spotlight is directed at the ball. Check that the ball is clean and free of dust or smudges. Adjust the angle of the spotlight for optimal reflection.
Facets appear loose or damaged.
Gently inspect the ball for any loose facets. If minor, they may be re-secured with appropriate adhesive (use with caution). For significant damage, contact customer support.
Hanging loop feels unstable.
Do not hang directly from the loop if it seems compromised. Use a broader harness or support system around the ball itself, ensuring a secure fit.
