Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your HOOBRO Storage Bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rustic finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or water damage to the engineered wood.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
• Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent warping or cracking of the wood material.
