3. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BALMUDA The Range.
3.1 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish.
