- Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the natural wood finish.
- Inspection: Regularly check all panels, connectors, and the locking gate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Ensure all components are securely fastened.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your playpen, refer to the following common solutions:
- Playpen feels unstable: Ensure all panel connectors are fully engaged and in the 'OFF' (locked) position. Check that the anti-slip pads at the bottom of each panel are making full contact with the floor.
- Gate not locking securely: Verify that both the top and bottom locking mechanisms on the gate are properly aligned and twisted into the locked position. If the gate is misaligned, gently adjust the panels to ensure a flush fit.
- Difficulty folding/unfolding: Ensure all panel connectors are in the 'ON' (unlocked) position to allow for free movement of the hinges. Do not force the panels.
- Toys not staying attached: Ensure the educational toys are correctly inserted into the pegboard holes or securely fastened as intended.
