4. Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your upholstered bed frame.
4.1. General Care
- Regularly dust the velvet upholstery with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading.
- Keep the bed frame away from excessive moisture.
4.2. Spot Cleaning
- For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain and damage the velvet pile.
- For stubborn stains, use a mild, water-free solvent or a dry-cleaning product specifically designed for velvet upholstery. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
