Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Keter Sherwood Storage Box:

• Cleaning: Clean the box periodically with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, brushes, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the resin surface.

• Wheels: Inspect the wheels for any accumulated dirt or debris that might hinder their smooth operation. Clean as necessary.
