How to place it
Feng shui tradition calls for placing the frog near an entrance, facing inward toward the room — never facing outward through the door — so it appears to be bringing fortune inside rather than carrying it away. A console table, shelf, or desk near the entry works well.
Care
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, or harsh cleaners, which can dull or chip the painted finish.
