1. Food-grade silicone (Silicone)
Food-grade silicone is non-toxic, odorless, and heat-resistant. It meets international safety standards and is suitable for direct contact with the skin and mouth. It is currently the most popular material for Stress Relief Toys.
2. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
TPE has good elasticity and wear resistance. Its softness is similar to that of human skin, and it has passed medical-grade testing. It is commonly used in soft Stress Relief Toys.
3. ABS plastic
ABS has a strong structure and is impact-resistant. It is suitable for the skeleton or hard shell part of toys. When combined with TPE coating, it can balance strength and feel.
4. Natural wood & eco-friendly pulp
Using natural wood that has been treated against decay or degradable pulp, the surface is smooth and non-irritating, making it suitable for users with environmental protection requirements.

How to clean and maintain Stress Relief Toys made of silicone or rubber?

1. Gentle cleaning
Use neutral or weakly acidic hand soap mixed with warm water to gently rub the surface. Avoid using alkaline cleaners as they may corrode the silicone.
2. Disinfection treatment
Soak the toy in a special disinfectant for infants for 5 - 10 minutes and then rinse it thoroughly. It is not recommended to use alcohol or bleach as they may damage the material.
3. High-temperature boiling (suitable for high-temperature-resistant silicone)
Put the toy in boiling water for 5 - 10 minutes for boiling disinfection, and then let it dry naturally.
4. Daily maintenance
After use, dry the toy with a clean and soft cloth. Store it in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments to prevent material aging.
