※Please wash Figures with a special care.

 

 

★The Most Important Point when you wash the Figure are the “Water’ and the “Diluted Neutral Detergent"

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :What is most important when you wash them with water is to avoid “heat” and “losing color”.

 

 

●Why does it have to be the warm water? → To avoid the deformation of the figures by heat!

 

●Why do we have to dilute the detergent? → To avoid the paint peeling or losing color of the figures by detergent!

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :When we wash them with our hands, bear these things shown below in mind! If you don’t know how warm the water should be, you can use the regular cold water too!

 

 

1. Put the water and the neutral detergent in the container that the figure fits and froth them up.

2. Wash the figure gently in the container as if you wash it only with the foam.

3. Wipe the figure gently with a towel or a tissue paper with fine texture, or let it dry naturally after you shake it gently, getting rid of the water.

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :Some figures have stickers on some parts! Please check it out before you wash it so it won’t be peeled off while you’re washing it!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :One more thing! If the figure you have can be taken apart to some parts, please take them apart before you wash if you can. That way you can wash it more finely or you might even find the stain, which you have never noticed before…!

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :BUT! If you do that, please be very careful so no water will go into the empty space inside and so every part is dried up completely!

Mafuyu(^q^)/ :Also, try to avoid putting the figures in the place where they get the direct sunshine when you dry them! The best place is where they have a shade and are also well-ventilated, just like I advised for the plushies too!
