Mouse House Guide: Caring for Your Maileg Friends
Looking After Tiny Friends for a Lifetime of Adventures
One of the most wonderful things about Maileg is that these tiny friends are made to be loved.
Whether they're joining a child's everyday 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.
Unlike many toys, Maileg mice are designed to be treasured. With gentle care, they can become keepsakes that are passed from one generation to the next, carrying with them countless stories, adventures and happy memories.
Made for Adventure
Maileg mice were never designed to spend their lives sitting quietly on a shelf.
They're made for:
- Tea parties in the garden
- Camping beneath the stars
- Cosy afternoons in tiny beds
- Family adventures around Mouse House Village
Every cuddle, every game and every adventure becomes part of your mouse's story.
Don't worry if your favourite little friend begins to show signs of being well loved.
That's exactly what Maileg was created for.
Keeping Your Maileg Mouse Clean
Every now and then, your Maileg mouse may need a little freshen up.
Most fabric Maileg mice can be gently cleaned by following the care instructions attached to the product.
We recommend:
- Using cool or lukewarm water
- A small amount of mild detergent if required
- Gently squeezing the fabric rather than rubbing
- Avoiding bleach or harsh cleaning products
Once clean, gently reshape your mouse and allow it to air dry naturally.
Avoid using a clothes dryer, as excessive heat may damage the delicate fabrics and filling.
Looking After Tiny Clothes
Changing outfits is one of the joys of collecting Maileg.
To keep clothing looking its best:
- Remove outfits gently to protect tiny seams.
- Smooth garments by hand after washing.
- Store spare clothing neatly to avoid creasing.
- Avoid pulling on delicate accessories or trims.
These thoughtful little details are part of what gives every Maileg character its unique personality.
A Cosy Place to Rest
Even adventurous mice need somewhere peaceful to return home.
When they're not exploring, store your Maileg friends:
- In a clean, dry place
- Away from prolonged direct sunlight
- Inside a Mouse House
- In their Matchbox bed
- On a display shelf or cabinet
Many collectors enjoy creating seasonal displays, giving their tiny friends a new home throughout the year.
Caring for Furniture & Accessories
Furniture and accessories are just as much a part of the Maileg story as the mice themselves.
To help them last for years:
- Dust wooden furniture regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
- Keep timber pieces away from excessive moisture.
- Store tiny accessories together so they don't become misplaced.
- Encourage children to pack everything away after playtime.
A little care helps your Mouse House Village continue growing beautifully.
Every Mark Tells a Story
Perhaps your Little Brother Mouse has a tiny mark after a camping trip.
Maybe Grandma's apron has become 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 enjoyed for many years.
Every tiny mark tells another chapter of your Mouse House story.
Made to Last
One of the reasons families around the world treasure Maileg is because these aren't ordinary toys.
They're timeless companions designed to be shared between siblings, treasured by collectors and eventually passed on to future generations.
With thoughtful care, your Maileg friends will continue bringing smiles for many years to come.
