- Cleaning: Wipe figurines and playset components with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the paint or material.
- Storage: Store the playset in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Keep small parts in a designated container to avoid loss.
