Taking care of your Sophie la girafe

Sophie la girafe is made from 100% natural rubber and decorated with food paint. As such, Sophie needs just a little more care than usual plastic toys.

How do I clean Sophie la girafe?

All you need to clean Sophie la girafe is to use a moist cloth to clean the surface. There's a little hole at the back of Sophie la girafe where the squeaker is, and you must ensure that water does not enter this little hole during cleaning.

As such, it is important to refrain from rinsing or submerging Sophie la girafe and from placing the toy in the dishwasher.

If required, it is possible to spend more time scrubbing with your cloth moistened with soapy water. In fact, the longer the time spent scrubbing the product with soap, the more effective the cleaning.
