4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your WENKO Bahari Shelving Unit.

• Frame Cleaning: Wipe the bamboo frame with a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
• Basket Cleaning: The gray polyester baskets can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the baskets.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals on any part of the unit, as these can damage the materials.
• Moisture Protection: While bamboo is naturally resistant, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided. Ensure the unit is kept dry.
