5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your PLUS PLUS building blocks, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The blocks are made from high-quality, BPA-free, and phthalate-free plastic. They can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure all pieces are completely dry before storage.
• Storage: Store the pieces in their original tube or a similar container to keep them organized and prevent loss. Avoid exposing the blocks to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may affect material integrity.

6. Troubleshooting

While PLUS PLUS blocks are designed for straightforward assembly, you may encounter minor challenges. Here are some common points and solutions:

• Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure the pieces are aligned correctly. A gentle but firm push should secure the connection. Avoid excessive force, which is not necessary and could damage the pieces.
• Model Not Matching Instructions: Double-check the instruction sheet. Verify that you are using the correct colors and that the pieces are oriented as shown in the diagrams. Sometimes, rotating a piece 90 degrees can make a difference.
• Missing Pieces: While rare, if you believe pieces are missing from a new set, please contact PLUS PLUS customer support with your product details.
