Care Instructions

Treat your Printie like a tiny friend. They're tougher than they look, but they prefer the indoor life.

Daily care

  • Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Skip the soap, definitely skip solvents.
  • Keep out of direct sun. Sustained UV will fade colours over time.
  • Stay below 60°C. PLA softens in heat — don't leave them in a hot car or near a heater.

What to avoid

  • Dishwashers, microwaves, ovens, freezers
  • Acetone, alcohol, harsh cleaners
  • Long submersion in water
  • Chewing (sorry, dogs)

If something breaks

A small dab of super glue works fine on PLA. For bigger fixes, email us a photo at hello@printies.au — we may be able to reprint at a discount.

End of life

PLA is plant-based and biodegradable in industrial composting facilities. If your Printie's time has come, please don't bin it — drop it back to us and we'll grind it down and reprint.
