Dust Removal
Dust weekly with a soft dry microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid compressed air at close range — pressure can stress paint finishes. Avoid wet cloths on unsealed surfaces.
For tight areas like ears and details, a clean soft toothbrush works well. Gentle, dry pressure only.
What to Avoid
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight — UV fades paint and can warp PLA at high temperatures. A shelf near a south-facing window in summer can be problematic over months.
Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, acetone, and solvents. They strip paint and attack PLA surface. Hot water above 60C can also warp PLA.
Storage When Not Displayed
For storage over a few weeks, wrap in acid-free tissue and keep in a sealed box away from heat and UV. Avoid attics or car trunks in summer.
The original packaging is the best storage option. Keep it.
