Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Pinolino Kalle Play Kitchen. As a wooden toy, it requires specific attention to maintain its condition.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the wood and varnish.
- Drying: After cleaning, immediately dry the surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption into the wood.
- Storage: Store the play kitchen in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can cause wood to warp or crack.
