Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help keep your Yaheetech Cat Tree clean and extend its lifespan.

• Cleaning Plush Surfaces: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and dust from the plush surfaces. For stubborn dirt or spills, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent, then air dry completely. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Removing Pet Hair: Lint rollers or rubber gloves can be highly effective for quickly removing accumulated pet hair from the plush fabric.
• Sisal Rope Care: The sisal scratching posts are designed to withstand scratching. If the sisal becomes frayed, you can trim loose threads carefully with scissors.
• Structural Check: Periodically inspect all connections and screws. Re-tighten any loose screws to maintain the tree's stability and safety.
• Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle baking soda on the plush areas, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.
