Maintaining Your Championship Display

Similarly, extreme temperature fluctuations should be avoided to preserve the integrity of the plastic bricks. A stable room environment is ideal for maintaining its structural and aesthetic quality.

Should the set require a deeper clean, a slightly damp cloth can be used with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe down the surfaces, then immediately dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not submerge the entire set in water, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the printed elements or plastic finish. With proper care, this commemorative piece will continue to honor the 1988 National Champions for decades.
