4. Care and Maintenance

To maintain the quality and appearance of your LEGO set, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dust. For deeper cleaning, wash LEGO bricks by hand using lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C or 104°F) and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to air dry at room temperature. Avoid using hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic.
