Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your bed frame.

• Velvet Upholstery: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the velvet fabric using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for velvet, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Steel Frame: Wipe the metal components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.

The soft velvet upholstery requires gentle care.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking or Noise: This is often caused by loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, headboard, and footboard. Ensure all wooden slats are properly seated and secured in their designated positions.
• Instability or Wobbling: Check that all legs are firmly attached and making even contact with the floor. Verify that all frame connections are fully tightened. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads or shims under the legs.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon unpacking, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Zinus customer support immediately for assistance.
