6. Maintenance

To keep your Play22 Magnetic Tiles in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: The plastic tiles are easy to clean. Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the tiles in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the magnets and plastic.
• Inspection: Regularly check tiles for cracks or damage, especially around the magnets.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your magnetic tiles, consider the following:

• Weak Magnet Connection: Ensure the tiles are aligned correctly. While the magnets are strong, extreme angles or heavy structures may require additional support or a different building approach.
• Difficulty for Small Hands: Some younger children might find it challenging to separate strongly connected tiles. Encourage them to use both hands or seek assistance. This can also be a good opportunity to develop fine motor skills.
• Missing or Damaged Pieces: If any pieces are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact customer support for assistance.
