Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Mega Bloks set.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the blocks and figures.
• Spot Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected area, then immediately dry with a clean, dry cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and painted details.
• Do Not Submerge: Avoid submerging the entire set or individual pieces in water, as this can trap moisture and potentially damage the plastic over time.

Storage:

Store the assembled set or individual pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or discoloration of the plastic.
