6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your service cart.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the cart's surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

• Drawer Slides: Inspect roller bearing drawer slides for smooth operation. If drawers become stiff or noisy, apply a small amount of silicone spray or light grease to the slides.
