Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your bed frame, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning Upholstery: For general cleaning, use a dry cloth to wipe away dust. For spills or stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and gently blot the affected area. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Slat Care: Ensure the wooden slats are properly seated and secured by the Velcro. Avoid placing excessive weight on individual slats.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the upholstered fabric or metal components, as this may cause damage or discoloration.
