How strong is the magnet?

It is described as a 'strong magnet,' suitable for holding lightweight items like notes or photos on metallic surfaces without sliding.

What is the recommended age for this product?

Due to its small size and potential for small parts, it is not recommended as a toy for young children. It is intended for decorative and collection purposes.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the metallic surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. The surface must also be magnetic; some stainless steel finishes are not. Test the magnet on a different metallic surface to confirm it is functioning correctly.

Enamel appears dull or dirty

Gently wipe the magnet with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Chrome finish shows smudges

Polish gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Fingerprints can be easily removed with a slightly damp cloth followed by buffing with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the magnet from its packaging and place it on any clean, dry, metallic surface. Ensure the surface is free from dust and debris for optimal magnetic adhesion.

Compatibility: This magnet is compatible with any ferromagnetic metal surface, including most refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, whiteboards, and metal filing cabinets. It is not compatible with glass, wood, plastic, or non-magnetic surfaces.

Care: To maintain the quality of the chrome finish and enamel, wipe the magnet gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface or damage the enamel. Do not expose the magnet to excessive heat or moisture for prolonged periods.
