Care & Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your ClosetMaid Cubeicals 6-Cube Organizer, follow these simple care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
  • Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage to the laminated manufactured wood.
  • Placement: Avoid placing the unit in areas with excessive humidity or direct sunlight, which can cause warping or fading over time.

Troubleshooting

While the assembly process is designed to be straightforward, some common considerations may arise:

  • Dowel Pin Fit: If dowel pins seem too tight, ensure they are aligned correctly before applying gentle, even pressure. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the panels.
  • Back Panel Attachment: The back panel is typically secured with small nails. Ensure the unit is square and level before attaching the back panel to ensure proper alignment and stability.
  • Fabric Bin Fit: While designed for 11-inch bins, some variations in bin size may result in a snug fit. Gently insert and remove bins to avoid wear on the organizer's interior surfaces.
