Troubleshooting
Pieces appear dull or lack shine.
Lightly rub the wooden pieces with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax polish to restore their sheen. Ensure the toy is completely dry before applying polish.
Wood has absorbed liquid and feels damp.
Wipe the affected pieces immediately with a dry cloth. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from heat or direct sunlight. Avoid further use until fully dry.
Difficulty cleaning dried-on play food residue.
Use a slightly damp cloth and gently scrub the residue. For stubborn spots, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and thorough drying.
