4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

• Protect the unit from excessive moisture to prevent rust, especially if placed in areas like bathrooms or entryways where wet shoes might be stored.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shoe rack.

5.1 Instability

• Issue: The shoe rack feels wobbly or unstable.
• Solution: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface. Check all assembly screws and fasteners to confirm they are securely tightened. Uneven weight distribution of shoes can also cause instability; try to balance the load.

5.2 Difficulty Opening/Closing Compartments

• Issue: Shoe compartments are stiff or difficult to operate.
• Solution: Check for any obstructions, such as shoes being too large or misplaced. Ensure the rack is not warped or damaged. A small amount of silicone spray on hinges (if applicable) might help, but avoid getting it on painted surfaces.
