Tea lovers raise a tea pet similarly to how they maintain a Yixing clay teapot. It is a very time-consuming process. They often pour leftover tea over their tea pets and use a tea brush to wipe the surface of the tea pet to help it absorb the tea evenly. Tea pets should be only rinsed with water, without using soap or any dish-washing liquid, to ensure a progressive increase in the fragrance and color of the tea. After prolonged maintenance, over months or years, the tea pet will absorb the tea, and its appearance will become glossier along with the aroma of the tea.
