Proper care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your ARIEL Cambridge vanity.
5.1 General Cleaning
- Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

- Consider periodic sealing of the marble to enhance stain resistance.
5.3 Wood Cabinet Care
- Protect wood surfaces from excessive moisture and humidity.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading or discoloration.
- Periodically dust with a soft, dry cloth.
