Follow these suggestions to keep your hoop in good condition:

1.Hoop on an unpaved outdoor surface. Hooping on a cemented or paved surface, like your driveway or sidewalk, may leave deep scratches in your hoop's coating that can not be repaired. If you like to hoop indoors you can clear an area in your home and hoop while you are watching the television, on your bed, at the gymnasium, or on any non-abrasive surface.

2. If your hoop becomes marked, dampen a cotton ball or soft piece of fabric with isopropyl alcohol. Rub this on the mark until the mark fades. Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) is the strongest spot remover you should use on your hoop. Too much alcohol or stronger removers may damage your hoop's surface further.

3. Store your hoop in a safe place where no one will trip over it. Some hoopers have a special hook in their room on which they hang their hoops. We like to slide ours under out bed so it is stored flat.

4. Don't step on your hoop or place objects on top of it that may crush your hoop.

5. Use your hoop in a cleared area where there are no items that can be broken or knocked off the walls or shelves.

6. Never use your hoop for anything other than it is intended. Doing so may cause harm to objects, yourself or others. Never try to hoop on top of a moving object. Never attach objects to your hoop as the foreign objects may cause harm to yourself or others if they break off when hooping.

7. Be safe when you hoop. Use common sense. And have fun with your new Faces Are Fun Hoop for Health fitness hoops.
