Accidents happen, and when liquids spill inside your toy crane machine, quick and proper cleaning is essential to prevent damage and maintain hygiene. First, immediately unplug the machine from the power source for safety. Remove any visible debris or prize items from the claw area and prize compartment.

For fresh spills, use a dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. For sticky residues, create a cleaning solution with warm water and mild dish soap. Dampen a soft cloth (never spray directly into the machine) and gently wipe affected surfaces. Pay special attention to the glass/acrylic panels, control buttons, and the claw mechanism.

For disinfecting, use a cloth lightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration) to wipe down high-touch areas. Avoid excessive moisture near electrical components. For stubborn stains on the prize compartment, a mixture of white vinegar and water can be effective.

Always ensure all surfaces are completely dry before restoring power. Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove moisture and allow adequate air circulation. Regular maintenance cleaning every few months can prevent buildup and keep your crane machine looking pristine.

Remember that different materials (acrylic, metal, plastic) may require specific cleaning approaches. Always consult your machine's manual for manufacturer recommendations, especially for electronic components. Proper cleaning not only maintains appearance but also ensures the longevity of your toy crane machine.
