Keeping a toy crane machine clean is crucial when it's frequently used by children in public areas. Start by unplugging the machine for safety. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a mild disinfectant solution to wipe all exterior surfaces, including the joystick, buttons, and prize chute. For the interior glass and claw mechanism, use a glass cleaner and a separate cloth. Pay special attention to high-touch areas. Empty the toy compartment regularly and wash the prizes with soapy water or disinfectant wipes before returning them. For thorough sanitation, consider using UV-C light treatment between deep cleanings. Establish a regular cleaning schedule—daily for high-traffic locations—using child-safe cleaning products. Always allow surfaces to dry completely before resuming operation to prevent moisture damage and ensure optimal hygiene for young users.
