Mouse House Guide: Caring For Your Maileg Treasures
A little care goes a long way in keeping your Mouse House beautiful for years to come.
Every Maileg mouse, piece of furniture and tiny accessory has been thoughtfully designed to inspire storytelling, imaginative play and treasured childhood memories. With a little gentle care, these beloved treasures can be enjoyed for many years and even passed down through generations.
Whether your Mouse House is filled with daily adventures or carefully displayed on a shelf, this guide will help keep your Maileg collection looking its best.
Everyday Care for Your Mouse House
Maileg treasures are designed for gentle, imaginative play. To help preserve their beauty:
- Handle mice and accessories with clean, dry hands where possible
- Store items in a dry environment away from direct sunlight
- Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or humidity
- Keep smaller accessories together to prevent them from being misplaced
Over time, signs of love and play become part of your Mouse House story and add character to your collection.
Caring for Maileg Mice
Most Maileg mice are crafted from beautiful cotton and linen fabrics and should be handled with care.
We recommend:
- Gently spot cleaning with a soft, damp cloth
- Allowing items to air dry naturally
- Avoiding harsh cleaning products or bleach
- Checking the individual care label attached to your Maileg product before cleaning
Each Maileg piece may have its own care instructions, so the product label should always be your first reference point.
Looking After Clothing and Soft Accessories
Maileg outfits are beautifully detailed and often include delicate stitching, lace and fine fabrics.
To help keep them looking their best:
- Hand wash gently if required
- Use mild detergent
- Lay flat to dry
- Store carefully when not in use
Changing outfits and creating new adventures is all part of the fun. Gentle handling helps preserve these tiny treasures for years to come.
Caring for Furniture and Accessories
From cosy beds and vintage chairs to scooters and bathtubs, Maileg furniture is designed to be both beautiful and durable.
To care for your furniture:
- Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth
- Avoid soaking wooden pieces in water
- Keep metal accessories dry during storage
- Check moving parts occasionally during regular play
A little maintenance helps your Mouse House remain beautiful and ready for the next adventure.
Magnetic Hands and Special Features
Some Maileg mice include magnets hidden inside their hands, allowing them to hold accessories and interact with their world.
To protect these features:
- Avoid dropping mice onto hard surfaces
- Handle magnetic accessories gently
- Store mice where their hands are not under pressure
- Avoid placing strong magnets against the hands
The magnets are securely enclosed and require no special maintenance beyond normal gentle play.
Displaying Your Mouse House
Many collectors enjoy displaying their Mouse House as much as playing with it.
To keep your collection looking beautiful:
- Display away from direct sunlight to minimise fading
- Store seasonal items safely when not in use
- Keep smaller pieces organised in drawers or storage boxes
- Group collections together to create magical scenes and reduce the risk of losing accessories
The Beauty of Handmade Details
Every Maileg treasure is unique.
Small variations in fabric placement, stitching and finishing are part of the handmade charm that makes each mouse and accessory feel special. These tiny differences are not imperfections but part of the character that makes Maileg so beloved around the world.
A World Designed to Be Loved
At Mouse House Collective, we believe the most treasured toys are the ones that become part of a family's story.
With a little care, your Maileg collection can provide years of imaginative play, magical adventures and treasured memories. Whether displayed proudly or loved through everyday play, every Mouse House is a little world designed to be cherished.
