Caring for Your Wee Gallery Wooden Keepsake Toys
Caring for Your Wee Gallery Wooden Keepsake Toys
To ensure your Wee Gallery wooden toys last for generations, follow these simple care guidelines:
Cleaning:
- Gently spot clean with a non-toxic cleaner, mild soap and water, or a 1:1 (or weaker) vinegar and water solution (white or apple cider vinegar works well).
- Use a soft, damp cloth or brush.
- Never soak or immerse wooden toys in water, as this can lead to warping and cracking.
- Dry immediately with an absorbent cloth and/or air dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
Maintaining Moisture (Teething Rings):
- Rub with olive oil or a non-toxic, food-grade beeswax polish like Bee Luna Natural Beeswax Polish.
- Our other wooden toys have a protective, non-toxic varnish and do not require this treatment.
Storage:
- Store wooden toys away from harsh sunlight and damp environments.
- While some sunlight is fine, excessive exposure can cause fading and cracking.
Safety & Durability:
- While robust, wood is not indestructible.
- Immediately remove any broken or cracked pieces from children.
- Scratches and dents are natural and add character to the wood, reflecting its journey.
- We encourage these toys to be cherished, creating stories and memories for years to come.
