- Cleaning: Wipe the frame and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the racket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a racket cover or bag to protect it from scratches and impacts.
