Troubleshooting
ToggleTopper does not fit securely
Ensure you are using a standard-sized toggle switch. If the fit is still loose, you may need to apply a tiny drop of adhesive (like super glue) to the inside of the topper before attaching, though this is usually not necessary.
ToggleTopper is difficult to push on
Check for any obstructions on the toggle switch lever. Ensure the topper is aligned correctly. If it feels excessively tight, do not force it, as it may indicate incompatibility with the switch size.
White surface is marked or dirty
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
