7. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your room divider.

Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the wooden frame with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Rice Paper: The rice paper panels are delicate. Gently dust them with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Do not use water or liquid cleaners on the rice paper.
Protection: Keep the divider away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading or damage to the wood and rice paper. Avoid high humidity environments.
Inspection: Periodically check the hinges and frame for any signs of wear or damage.

8. Troubleshooting

Instability: If the room divider feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a flat, level surface. Adjust the angles of the panels to create a wider base or a more pronounced zig-zag shape, which typically increases stability. Avoid placing it in areas prone to vibrations or accidental bumps.
Damaged Rice Paper: The rice paper is delicate. If minor tears occur, clear adhesive tape can be carefully applied from the back for a temporary repair. For significant damage, consider professional repair or replacement if available.
Stiff Hinges: If hinges become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pins. Avoid oil-based lubricants that might stain the wood.
