Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your miniature house, gently dust it regularly using a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using wet cloths or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the delicate materials and paintwork.

When not on display, store the miniature house in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider covering it with a clear dust cover to protect it from environmental elements.
