5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Merax Daybed.
- Cleaning Upholstery: The upholstered fabric requires Dry Clean Only. For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Drawer Maintenance: Keep drawer tracks free of debris. If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the drawer slides.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position the daybed away from direct sunlight or use window coverings.
