6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Sluban building blocks, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the blocks with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or loose bricks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent discoloration and warping.
- Disassembly: If disassembling the model, do so carefully to avoid stressing or breaking the connection points of the bricks.
