5. Care and Maintenance
Regular care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your cabinet.
- Cleaning: Clean the cabinet surfaces with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the resin material.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and fasteners to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Outdoor Use: While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy storms, freezing temperatures) may affect the cabinet's lifespan. Consider relocating or covering the cabinet during severe weather.
- Hinges: The metal hinges are designed for durability. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
