6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your Alcube Home Bed remains in excellent condition for years.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the wooden frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paint finish. The paint is water-based and odorless, making it easy to clean.
- Mattress Care: The mattress features a washable cover. Refer to the care label on the mattress cover for specific washing instructions (typically machine washable at 60°C). Ensure the mattress is completely dry before re-covering.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause wood to fade or dry out.

- Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Ensure the area under the bed is clear of obstructions. The drawers are designed to slide freely without rails; ensure they are positioned correctly.
