How to Take Care of Your Eugy’s
Eugy models are surprisingly durable, but they do require a little care to keep them in top condition. Here’s what you need to know about cleaning, maintenance, and extending their lifespan.
1. Keep Them Dry
Premium Eugy’s are made of cardboard, so moisture is their biggest enemy. Avoid placing them near humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens, and keep them away from accidental spills. If you need to clean them, use a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust.
2. Store Them Safely
While Eugy’s are sturdy, they can still be damaged if knocked over or squashed. Display them on a shelf away from heavy traffic areas or pets that might think they’re chew toys. If you need to store them, place them in a box lined with tissue paper to prevent scratches or dents.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Sunlight can fade the vibrant colours of your Eugy models over time. If you’re displaying them near a window, consider rotating your collection every few weeks to minimise exposure.
4. Handle With Clean Hands
Natural oils and dirt from your hands can transfer to the cardboard and cause smudging. When handling your Eugy’s, make sure your hands are clean and dry to keep them looking fresh.
5. Use a Soft Brush for Dusting
Over time, dust can settle on your models, especially in small crevices. A soft paintbrush or makeup brush is perfect for gently removing dust without damaging the edges or printed designs.
Extending the Life of Your Eugy’s
Want to keep your Eugy collection looking as good as new for years to come? Here are a few extra tips:
- Apply a light protective spray – A clear matte spray can add a subtle layer of protection without making them look glossy. Make sure it’s suitable for paper-based products.
- Keep the assembly guide – If a piece ever comes loose, you’ll know exactly where to put it back.
- Rotate your display – If you have a large collection, cycle them through different spots so they’re not exposed to constant handling or light.
- Create a dedicated display space – A glass cabinet or bookshelf with a low-dust environment will help keep them safe.
