7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten any loose hardware to maintain the bed's stability and safety.
- Wood Care: Protect the wood from extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
- Slide Maintenance: Keep the slide surface clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
