Maintenance and Care
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the alloy steel frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Bag Cleaning: The heavy-duty 600D polyester fabric bags are waterproof and easy to clean. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting into the frame. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the bags.
- Caster Maintenance: Periodically check the casters for lint, hair, or debris that may impede smooth rolling. Clean as necessary.
- Regular Inspection: Routinely check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fittings to maintain stability.
