4. Maintenance

The Keter Hudson Storage Bench is designed for low maintenance. To keep your bench looking its best, simply wipe it with a dry cloth as needed. For more stubborn dirt or grime, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the resin material. The weather-resistant construction ensures durability against various outdoor conditions, including rain and sun exposure.

5. Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Difficulty during Assembly: If parts do not snap together easily, ensure correct alignment and orientation. Refer to the assembly diagrams. A rubber mallet can be used gently to tap components into place if necessary, but avoid excessive force.
• Water Accumulation in Storage: While weather-resistant, extreme weather conditions or improper closure can lead to minimal moisture. Ensure the lid is fully closed and latched. For prolonged heavy rain, consider placing items in waterproof bags inside the bench.
• Fading or Discoloration: Although made with UV-resistant materials, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight over many years may cause slight fading. Regular cleaning can help maintain its appearance.
