Troubleshooting
Magnets do not connect
Ensure the bears are positioned very close to each other. Sometimes slight repositioning is needed for the magnets to fully engage. Check that no external material is obstructing the magnetic contact points.
Surface cleaning is ineffective
For minor marks, try a slightly more concentrated damp cloth, but avoid saturation. For significant dirt, professional plush cleaning might be necessary, though this is beyond standard care.
Embroidered text is unraveling
Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the embroidery, as this can further damage the stitching. If significant damage occurs, contact customer support.
