Keep your Papo foam sword and crown looking great with simple cleaning and storage tips. Learn how to care for your épée de feu and couronne licorne.
Quick answer
Clean your foam sword and crown with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dry completely before storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why foam needs special care
Foam accessories like the épée de feu and couronne licorne are lightweight and safe for kids, but the EVA foam material can be damaged by harsh cleaners, heat, or rough handling. A little routine care goes a long way.
Steps to care for your foam set
- 1. Wipe with a damp cloth: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt or stains. For tougher spots, add a drop of mild dish soap. Avoid soaking the foam. Common mistake: using too much water can cause the foam to retain moisture and develop mildew.
- 2. Air-dry completely: Place the foam sword and crown on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Let them dry fully before storing. Never use a hair dryer or radiator; heat can warp or melt EVA foam.
- 3. Store flat or hanging: Store the crown flat in a drawer or on a shelf, and hang the sword by its handle or lay it flat. Keep both away from heavy objects that could crush them. Storing in a sealed plastic bag can trap moisture; use a breathable fabric bag or open bin instead.
