For deeper cleaning, a small amount of vinegar essence mixed with water effectively destroys bacteria while protecting the water-based coating.
Important Care Notes: Do not submerge in water or place in dishwasher, as this can damage the protective water-based finish. Avoid disinfectants and organic baby wipes, which can compromise the coating that protects the colorful stains beneath.
Regular Inspection: Check the clip and cord regularly for signs of wear, especially after your child begins teething. Replace if any components show damage to maintain safety standards.
