Can I use other magnetic sets like Magna-Tiles or Connetix with the magnetic wall decal?
In most cases, yes. Our wall decals are engineered with a high-density ferrous layer designed to attract strong magnets. However, keep in mind that they are specifically optimized for the weight and magnetic strength of Tix&Mix playsets. Many other popular brands use weaker or thinner magnets strictly meant for flat, floor-based play. If a third-party toy slides down, it simply means its magnets lack the industrial strength required to grip a vertical surface against gravity.
Can I use other markers or crayons to write on the decal?
While you can use other high-quality, water-based washable markers, we highly recommend using our exclusive Tix&Mix "Lipstick" Crayons Set. We specifically formulated these crayons to glide smoothly over our magnetic wall decals and wipe off effortlessly without leaving any ghosting or stains. If you choose to use third-party washable markers, always perform a small patch test in the corner first. Strictly avoid permanent markers or heavy oil-based pastels, as they will permanently damage the surface.
Are crayon marks easy to erase when used on the wall (not the magnetic wall decal)?
While our Tix&Mix decal is easy to wipe clean, standard household walls are porous. If a child accidentally draws off the decal onto your painted wall, removing the marks depends entirely on your wall's paint finish. We highly recommend supplying your child only with washable crayons (like our Tix&Mix Lipstics), which can usually be removed from standard walls with warm water and a mild sponge.
Can the magnetic wall peel off or damage wall paint?
Most of our customers remove their Tix&Mix decals without any damage to their walls. However, because every wall’s paint quality, age, and preparation varies, we cannot guarantee a completely mark-free removal in every single case. To ensure the safest removal, always use a hair dryer on a warm setting to gently heat the decal. This softens the adhesive, making the removal process much smoother and significantly reducing any risk of peeling the paint.
How safe and non-toxic are the materials for children?
Child safety is the core of our engineering process. All Tix&Mix wooden accessories are crafted from sustainably sourced materials and coated with non-toxic, child-safe finishes. Our products strictly comply with stringent safety standards, ensuring that your child’s playtime is entirely free from harmful chemicals.
Can the board be repositioned or removed easily without leaving marks?
Yes, during the initial setup. Our premium adhesive is forgiving, allowing you to carefully peel and adjust the decal a few times to get it perfectly aligned. However, please keep in mind that it is designed for permanent, long-term placement. Frequent repositioning or moving it to a different room later will degrade the adhesive's strength.
Are the products suitable for toddlers or young children?
Yes. Tix&Mix products are rigorously tested and specifically designed for children aged 1 to 6 years. The large, smooth wooden accessories are safe for toddlers practicing their first grasps, while the more complex activities serve as essential educational tools for preschoolers developing their fine motor skills and focus.
How do I clean and maintain the magnetic board or wall decal?
Maintaining your Tix&Mix set is simple. For the magnetic wall decal, a soft, slightly damp cloth is all you need to wipe away dust or washable crayon residue. For the wooden magnetic accessories, wipe them gently with a dry or barely damp cloth. Never submerge the wooden pieces in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can warp the natural wood and damage the non-toxic finish.
