How to Care for Your Maileg Friends
Tiny treasures deserve a little extra love.
One of the reasons Maileg is so special is that every mouse is made to be loved for years, not just a season.
Whether they're joining a child's daily adventures, sitting proudly on a collector's shelf or becoming part of your own Mouse House Village, a little care will help keep them looking beautiful for many years to come.
The wonderful thing about Maileg is that these tiny friends are designed to be enjoyed, not hidden away. With a little gentle care, they'll continue creating memories for generations.
Made for Adventure
Maileg mice are designed for imaginative play.
Tea parties in the garden.
Camping under the stars.
Cosy afternoons tucked into tiny beds.
It's perfectly normal for a favourite mouse to accompany countless adventures. Every cuddle and every little story becomes part of its character.
Don't worry if your mouse becomes a little loved along the way.
That's exactly what Maileg was created for.
Gentle Cleaning
Every now and then, your little mouse may need a freshen up.
Most Maileg mice can be gently hand washed following the care instructions on the product label.
We recommend:
- Using cool or lukewarm water.
- A small amount of mild detergent if needed.
- Gently squeezing rather than rubbing the fabric.
- Avoiding bleach or harsh cleaning products.
Once clean, reshape your mouse gently and allow it to air dry naturally.
Avoid using a clothes dryer, as heat may affect the delicate fabrics and filling.
Looking After Their Little Clothes
One of the joys of Maileg is changing outfits and creating different stories.
When removing clothing, do so gently to avoid stretching delicate fabrics or tiny seams.
If an outfit becomes creased, simply smooth it by hand once it's dry.
Those tiny details are part of what makes every Maileg character so charming.
A Safe Place to Rest
Even adventurous mice need somewhere cosy to come home.
When they're not exploring, keep your Maileg friends somewhere clean and dry, away from prolonged direct sunlight.
A shelf, dollhouse or little display cabinet makes the perfect resting place between adventures.
Many collectors enjoy creating seasonal displays, giving their mice new homes and tiny scenes throughout the year.
Caring for Accessories
Tiny furniture, tricycles, kitchens and dollhouses are all part of the magic.
To keep them looking their best:
- Dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Keep wooden furniture away from excessive moisture.
- Store tiny accessories together so little pieces don't go wandering.
- Encourage children to pack everything away after playtime.
Looking after the little details means your Mouse House Village will continue growing beautifully.
Every Mark Tells a Story
Perhaps your Little Brother has a tiny scuff after a camping trip.
Maybe Grandma's apron has become a little softer after years of afternoon tea.
Those little signs of love aren't imperfections.
They're memories.
Some of the most treasured Maileg collections are the ones that have been played with, hugged and loved for years.
They remind us that imagination is never something to be kept on a shelf.
Made to Last
One of the reasons families around the world cherish Maileg is because these aren't ordinary toys.
They're timeless companions designed to be passed down, shared between siblings and rediscovered by future generations.
With thoughtful care, your Maileg friends will continue bringing smiles for many years to come.
A Little Love Goes a Long Way
At Mouse House Collective, we believe every Maileg mouse has a story to tell.
With gentle care and plenty of imagination, your tiny friends will continue creating magical memories, one adventure at a time.
Because the most beautiful collections aren't the ones that stay perfect.
They're the ones that are truly loved.
