5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your spice rack, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame and MDF boards with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry after cleaning to prevent rust on metal components and warping of MDF boards.
• Lubrication: If the sliding mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rails to restore smooth operation.
