LEGO is a smart toy that is quite familiar to young children. This toy line does not use batteries and is made of high-quality virgin plastic, which is safe, durable and beautiful over time while ensuring health safety. However, if you do not keep the habit of preserving, storing and knowing how to properly clean LEGO, the toys will quickly become old and no longer as beautiful as they were before. Furthermore, toys can also contain bacteria that are harmful to health.
In the framework of the following article, Mykingdom will share with parents tips on preserving and cleaning LEGO simply and effectively.
Lego toys should be classified and stored separately
LEGO toys include many pieces in many different colors. Depending on the age and topic, the number and size of the puzzle pieces also vary. If, while playing with LEGO, your child accidentally loses these pieces, they will not be able to assemble them into a complete model. Therefore, your baby will quickly get bored and abandon the LEGO toys even though they are still very new.
Therefore, one of the first tips to help preserve and clean LEGO toys is to classify and store the pieces. Parents should guide children to classify and arrange LEGO pieces after playing in separate marked boxes. That way, your baby can easily find the puzzle pieces for the next time they play.
In addition, children should play LEGOs in separate areas and not display them all over the house because this can make it easier for bacteria to accumulate on toys.
How often should LEGO toys be cleaned?
According to the survey, in reality only about 30% of mothers are aware of the importance of cleaning their children's toys. The remaining 70% often do not care or have not taken practical action to prevent the risk of infection from toys to their baby's health.
However, toys in general and LEGO in particular can contain disease-causing bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye. When children play LEGO, they often have the habit of holding the toy in their mouth, creating a favorable environment for harmful bacteria to grow. Therefore, the correct way to clean LEGO toys is once a month or once every 2 weeks.
How to clean LEGO cleanly and safely
How to clean LEGO for babies is not too difficult. Parents just need to spend a little time and effort to keep their LEGO toys as clean and neat as new.
First, parents should prepare clean water, mixed with warm water and low concentration detergent or soap. Dissolve the mixture and soak the toy for about 5 minutes. Pay attention to separate LEGO toys into different batches for easy cleaning and preservation.
Next, parents use a soft towel to clean each crevice of the puzzle piece, removing dirt. Then rinse several times with water and hang it in the sun to dry the toy completely.
In addition, after each time playing with LEGO, parents should remind their children to wash their hands regularly with soap or safe hand sanitizer.
Above are some tips on preserving and cleaning LEGO. Although the implementation is simple, it contributes to protecting children's health and effectively preventing disease-causing bacteria. At the same time, cleaning LEGO regularly will help LEGO look like new, creating excitement for children when playing.
