5. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
• Storage: The play tent components fold flat for convenient storage. Twist and fold each piece carefully back into its compact shape and store in the deluxe zipper carrying case. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the tent, tunnel, and ties for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

6. Troubleshooting

• Components Not Staying Connected: Ensure the ties at each end of the tunnel are securely fastened to the loops on the tent and ball pit. Re-tie if necessary.
• Tent/Ball Pit Collapsing: The pop-up design relies on internal wiring for structure. Ensure the components are fully expanded and not placed on uneven surfaces. If a component consistently collapses, inspect for damage to the internal frame.
• Difficulty Folding for Storage: The pop-up design requires a specific twisting motion to fold flat. Refer to the folding instructions (often included on the carrying case or product packaging) or search for online tutorials for pop-up tents.
