FAQs
Are these scissors suitable for right-handed users?
No, these are specifically designed for left-handed users with reversed blade orientation.
Can these scissors cut fabric?
While they can handle light craft fabrics, they are primarily intended for paper-based art and school projects.
How do I clean sticky adhesive off the blades?
Use a soft cloth with a small amount of adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol, then wipe clean with water and dry thoroughly.
Are the handles made of latex?
The handles are made of soft, flexible plastic materials designed for comfort, not latex.
What is the recommended age for this product?
These are generally suitable for school-aged children, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
Will the blades rust if they get wet?
They are made of stainless steel to resist rusting, but you should always dry them immediately after cleaning to maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Scissors are not cutting paper cleanly at the tips
Ensure the blades are free of adhesive residue; clean the blade edges with a cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.
Handles feel sticky or dirty
Clean the 3D flexible handles with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water, then wipe completely dry.
Blades feel loose or difficult to operate
Check the pivot area for debris or lint buildup; if the blades remain loose, ensure the device has not been damaged by dropping it on a hard floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. No complex setup or adjustments are required. To maintain the longevity and performance of your Maped Sensoft scissors, follow these care tips:
- Storage: Keep in a dry location to prevent moisture buildup near the pivot point.
- Cleaning: Wipe the steel blades with a dry cloth after use if they have come into contact with sticky materials like glue or tape residue.
- Usage Limits: Use strictly for paper and light craft materials. Attempting to cut wire, thick plastic, or heavy fabrics can misalign the blades.
- Maintenance: Avoid dropping the scissors on hard surfaces, as impact can loosen the pivot screw and affect cutting precision.
