The story of such an unusual toy as a lizun began in the USA in 1976. Since then, it has not lost popularity and is known throughout the world. In our country, a craze for lizuns began in the mid-90s, which pretty annoyed adults, because such games with a jelly-like “pet” often left stubborn stains on the walls.
Such a toy spoils very quickly - it is affected by temperature changes, dryness and humidity, dust and debris. But if you know how to care for lizunami, you can extend their life for a very long time.
What needs to be done for this?
The most important thing in handling a lizun is to try to avoid its contamination. Even the smallest particles of garbage are easily glued to the sticky surface of the toy. Therefore, the contact of the lizun with fleecy surfaces should be avoided. Also, do not allow it to get into dusty dirty places.
It is best to store such a toy in a separate container with a tight-fitting lid. But if it has already happened so that the dirt got on the gel surface, how to care for the lizunov in this case? Try to remove all large particles from the ball with your fingers, tweezers or a needle. You can try to eliminate the smallest rubbish with alcohol.
As mentioned above, such a toy is afraid of excessive humidity or dry air. In the first case, it can swell and acquire a more fluid consistency. And with a lack of moisture, it can become stiff and lose its qualities - stickiness and the ability to spread and assemble together. How to care for lizunami to maintain shape and density? With excess moisture, you can put a little ordinary table salt in a container with a toy. Then it should be eaten. Salt absorbs excess moisture, and after a while, the lysun will become more elastic and restore its shape. If it so happened that the toy was dry and stiff, what should be done for its speedy resuscitation? Add a couple of drops of water to the container - the slime will absorb it.
No less important for this elastic toy is the temperature regime. She is afraid of heat and direct sunlight. Therefore, you should not keep it outside the container during the day, especially on the street. How to care for lizuny in hot weather, because the material from which they are made, under the influence of temperature can simply spread? It is enough to store the toy in the refrigerator. But just not in the freezer - from the cold it will shrink and lose elasticity, it will become tough.
