How can you clean Ostheimer figures?

Wood contains tannins that have a natural antibacterial effect. However, if cleaning is necessary, for example if it is heavily soiled, then we recommend 

  • Use lukewarm water, possibly with a little diluted vinegar or a splash of ecological washing-up liquid
  • Gently rub the surfaces with a soft, clean cloth or sponge
  • Lightly sand natural wood figures (not painted figures) in heavily soiled areas with 120 grit sandpaper
  • After cleaning, rub the toy with a soft cotton cloth and let it air dry.
