Turtle Do not allow dirt, food, beverages, or other material to accumulate in
the space between the top and bottom Turtle shells, or on the thin sheet that is
sandwiched between the shells.This could delay or prevent alarming when the
Turtle is immersed.

with a clean damp cloth. If necessary, a cotton-tipped swab can be used to clean
between the Turtle shells.Avoid scraping the surface of the thin sheet. Do not use
a knife, pen, or other sharp or hard-tipped object. Do not use abrasives, alcohol,
solvents,or cleaning fluids.Do not put in the dishwasher, washing machine, dryer,or
