Identify the Material

Check the product specifications before selecting a cleaning method. Different materials can require different care.

Check Water-Resistance Information

Do not submerge powered toys unless the manufacturer specifically states that the product is suitable for submersion. Charging ports, battery compartments and motors may require separate care.

Choose a Compatible Cleaner

If using a commercial toy cleaner, follow its label and confirm that it is suitable for the toy material. Manufacturer instructions take priority.

Clean Textured Areas and Seams

Pay attention to grooves, seams and removable components where residue can remain. Disassemble only as directed by the manufacturer.

Dry Before Storage

Allow components to dry fully as directed before storing them. Inspect the product for visible damage, deterioration or loose components.

Store According to Instructions

Follow manufacturer recommendations for storage and keep different materials separated when the product instructions call for it.
