How should I clean the magnetic tiles?

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking together firmly

Ensure the magnetic edges are clean and free from debris. Check that the tiles are aligned correctly, with magnets on opposite poles facing each other.

Creaking or squeaking sounds when connecting tiles

This is normal due to the nature of the strong magnets and smooth surfaces. It does not indicate a defect and is safe for play.

Scratches or cloudiness on tiles

Light scratches can occur with normal use. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials. The clear refractions may sometimes appear less clear if the tiles are dusty; cleaning will resolve this.

One or more tiles are cracked

While designed for durability, extreme force can cause damage. Contact customer support for potential replacement if the damage is due to a manufacturing defect.
