Keeping your toy crane machine clean is crucial for both hygiene and optimal performance, especially in high-traffic locations. Begin by unplugging the machine for safety. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol solution (70% concentration) to wipe down the exterior surfaces, control buttons, and joystick. For the glass or acrylic panels, employ a dedicated glass cleaner and microfiber cloth to prevent scratching. The prize claw mechanism requires special attention - use compressed air to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas and gently wipe metal components with disinfectant wipes. For heavily used machines, establish a regular cleaning schedule: daily wiping of high-contact surfaces, weekly thorough cleaning of interior components, and monthly deep cleaning of the entire unit. Always avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals that could damage electronic components or plastic surfaces. Proper maintenance not only ensures a sanitary experience for users but also prolongs your equipment's lifespan and maintains its visual appeal.
