CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Here are some tips for caring for your Mini:
Mini is shockproof and can handle the elements. That
being said, we don’t recommend testing this theory from
the top of your house.
Mini is not waterproof.
SANITIZING
Below are Sphero’s tips on how
to clean and properly disinfect
Sphero Mini.
1Have the proper cleaning products, e.g. disposable
disinfecting wipes (Lysol or Clorox or similar brands are
best) or spray, paper towels (if using a spray) and
disposable gloves.
2Remove Mini’s outer shell and wipe it inside and out.
Allow to dry and place back on the inner robot ball. You
can also wipe down the inside, but make sure no liquid
gets inside the charging port or other openings.
3Wipe down Mini’s outer surface, anything that hands have
touched
4Allow Mini to dry completely before plugging it back into
its charger.

activity cards for independent learning. We’ve curated an activity
guide that will help get you started.
