5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your Lalo Play Tent.

5.1 Canvas Care

• The natural canvas cover is machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle.
• Do not tumble dry. Air dry the canvas flat or hang it to prevent shrinkage and maintain its shape.
• For minor spills, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

5.2 Wooden Frame Care

• Wipe the beechwood poles with a damp cloth as needed.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the wood finish.
• Regularly check all connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lalo Play Tent, refer to the following common solutions.

• Tent is unstable: Ensure all wooden poles are fully inserted into their connectors and all fasteners are tightened. Verify the tent is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Canvas appears shrunken: If the canvas was tumble-dried, it may have shrunk. Air drying is crucial. In some cases, a steamer may help to gently stretch the fabric back into shape.
• Missing parts: Double-check the packaging. If parts are genuinely missing, contact Lalo customer support with your purchase details.
