4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your wall organiser.

• Cleaning: Wipe the organiser clean with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood and lacquer finish.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the organiser to excessive moisture or humidity, as this can cause warping or damage to the wood.
• Weight Limit: Adhere to the recommended weight limit of 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs) for the entire unit to prevent damage or detachment from the wall.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Organiser feels loose on the wall:

  Solution: Check the mounting screws. If they are loose, carefully tighten them. Ensure that the wall plugs (if used) are properly seated and that the screws are appropriate for your wall material.

• Items sliding off the shelf:

  Solution: The shelf has a protective edge designed to prevent items from falling. Ensure items are placed securely within this edge. Avoid placing items that are too large or unstable for the shelf's dimensions.

• Hooks not holding items:

  Solution: Verify that the weight of the item being hung does not exceed the capacity of the individual hook or the overall unit's weight limit. Ensure items are properly balanced on the hooks.
