Wood

Material safety  
  • Components
    Fibers of cellulose that form a solid material derived from woody plants, notably trees but also shrubs.
  • Properties
    Wood is one of the most abundant and versatile natural materials on earth. It is a very strong and hard fibrous substance and a good thermal insulator. Toys made of wood material slowly absorb liquids and usually have a protective finish.
  • Hygiene And Maintenance
    Wood can easily be cleaned by wiping down with water and antibacterial soap. It is not recommended to leave wood products in water for a longer period, because wet wood attracts moulds which eventually destroy it.
