How do you clean and care for wooden toys?

Wooden toys and puzzles can be great for kids, but I’ve noticed that cleaning them is a little different from cleaning plastic toys.

For everyday cleaning, a few simple things can help:

  • Wipe the toy with a soft, slightly damp cloth
  • Avoid soaking wooden toys in water
  • If needed, use a small amount of mild soap
  • Wipe away any residue and dry immediately
  • Keep wooden toys away from excess moisture and prolonged direct sunlight
  • Store them somewhere clean and dry
