Glass and steel without electronics can typically be boiled for a deeper clean \u2014 check the product description first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ABS plastic and electronic components:<\/strong> Never submerge unless the product is explicitly listed as waterproof. Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Avoid Harsh Products<\/h2>\n<p>Skip alcohol-based cleaners, strongly fragranced antibacterial soaps, and anything abrasive \u2014 these can degrade silicone over time and irritate skin.<\/p>\n<h2>Dry Thoroughly<\/h2>\n<p>Pat dry with a clean, lint-free towel before storing. Moisture left on silicone can encourage bacterial growth.<\/p>\n<h2>Store Separately<\/h2>\n<p>Keep each product in its own pouch or box rather than piled together \u2014 silicone can react with other materials if left in contact for long periods. A dedicated drawer away from direct sunlight works well.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Batteries and Charging Ports<\/h2>\n<p>For rechargeable items, keep charging ports dry and free of debris. For battery-powered items, remove batteries during long storage periods to avoid corrosion.<\/p>\n<p>A little care goes a long way \u2014 a well-maintained toy will perform better and last significantly longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proper cleaning isn&#8217;t just about hygiene \u2014 it also extends the life of your products.
