Use these storage and care guidelines to make sure your garden toys remain clean, safe, and durable throughout the seasons:

• Clean after use: Gently wash garden toys with warm, soapy water to remove dirt, grass, and moisture. For wooden toys, use a damp cloth and avoid soaking. (Follow the care instructions provided on the label.)
• Dry before storing: Always dry toys thoroughly before storage to prevent mould, mildew, or material damage.
• Use protective storage: Store garden toys in a weatherproof storage box, shed, or under a waterproof cover to shield them from rain, direct sun, and frost.
• Disassemble or deflate where needed: To conserve space and maintain the shape of larger items, such as pop-up tents or paddling pools, deflate or fold them down during the winter months.
• Check for damage: Regularly inspect toys for cracks, rust, or wear and tear to keep playtime safe and enjoyable.
  
  Proper care helps maintain quality, improves safety, and extends the life of your garden toys.
