FAQs
What is the material of the magnet?
The magnet is made from ductile/rubber material, making it flexible and durable.
Is this an officially licensed product?
Yes, this is a licensed London product, ensuring authenticity.
What are the dimensions of the magnet?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed as a standard fridge magnet size.
Can this magnet be used on a car?
Yes, it can be used on car doors or other metallic parts, provided the surface is clean and magnetic. However, continuous exposure to weather and high speeds may affect its adhesion and longevity.
How should I clean the magnet?
Gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What does 'ductile/rubber' mean for the magnet?
It means the material is flexible and can be stretched or deformed slightly without breaking, allowing it to conform to surfaces and resist damage from minor impacts.
Is the red colour prone to fading?
While the material is durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colours to fade over time. It is best to display it away from constant strong sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not sticking well
Ensure the metallic surface is clean and free from dust or grease. Check if the surface is magnetic; some stainless steel types are not. Try placing it on a different metallic surface.
Colour appears faded
The magnet may have been exposed to direct sunlight for too long. Move the magnet to a shaded area. Avoid prolonged exposure to UV light.
Magnet is slightly misshapen
Due to its ductile nature, it can be gently reshaped by hand. If it retains a slight crease, lay it flat on a non-metallic surface for a few hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply place the magnet on any clean, flat, metallic surface.
Compatibility: This magnet is designed to adhere to ferromagnetic surfaces, such as steel or iron found in refrigerators, car doors, lockers, and whiteboards. It may not adhere to stainless steel that is not magnetic or other non-metallic surfaces.
Care: To maintain its appearance, wipe the magnet gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the material or fade the colours. Keep away from extreme heat and direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
