FAQs
What are these magnets made of?
These skittle magnets have a decorative outer shell and contain a small Neodymium magnet inside.
How many sheets of paper can one magnet hold?
Each magnet can hold up to seven sheets of A4 paper firmly against a suitable metal surface.
What surfaces do these magnets work on?
They work on any magnetic surface, such as fridges, filing cabinets, whiteboards, lockers, and noticeboards.
Are these magnets suitable for children?
While they are designed to be safe for general use, Neodymium magnets should be handled with care. Keep them away from very young children who might put them in their mouths, as small parts can be a choking hazard.
What are the dimensions of each magnet?
Each skittle magnet is approximately 13mm in diameter and 19mm tall.
Can I use these magnets on glass whiteboards?
These magnets will only stick to ferrous (magnetic) surfaces. They will not stick to glass whiteboards unless there is a magnetic metal sheet behind the glass.
How should I clean the magnets?
Wipe them with a soft cloth that is slightly damp. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not holding paper securely.
Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free of dust. Verify that the magnet is directly on the metal surface and not on a thick layer of paper or plastic. The magnet's capacity is up to seven sheets of A4; try reducing the number of sheets.
Magnet has lost its magnetic strength.
Neodymium magnets are strong but can be weakened by extreme heat or physical impact. If the magnet appears damaged, it may have lost strength. For typical use, this is unlikely.
Scratches or damage to the magnet's surface.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Minor cosmetic scratches typically do not affect magnetic performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These magnets require no setup. Simply place them directly onto any magnetic surface.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard magnetic surfaces, including steel noticeboards, filing cabinets, refrigerators, lockers, and magnetic paint.
Care: To maintain performance and appearance:
- Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
- Keep away from electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Handle Neodymium magnets with care, especially when bringing two magnets together or attracting them to a metal surface, to avoid chipping or injury.
