Care

Washing and storing big blocks

Blocks that live on the floor get sticky. A simple routine keeps the collection clean and in one place.

Washing

Hand-wash blocks in a sink of warm, soapy water, rub the studs with a soft brush, and rinse. Leave out anything with sound parts or printed stickers, and wipe those with a damp cloth instead.

Drying

Spread the blocks on a towel, studs down, and let them air-dry completely. Water trapped inside a block is the usual reason a set starts to smell.

Storing

Most of our sets carry their own storage: the drawstring bags, the table, the wagon bed, the rig, the dump-truck bin and the tractor hood. Ending play with putting the blocks away is a habit worth starting early.
