6. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Vicco Tessa Desk, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes containing silicone, as these can damage the melamine resin coating.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters for drinks. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent water damage.
• Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause discoloration over time.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fittings and tighten them if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
