Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat tree.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Removable Cushions: The plush cushions are removable and machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
• Surface Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fur and debris from all surfaces, including the sisal posts.
• Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a damp cloth with a mild pet-safe cleaner. Avoid saturating the material.
• Sisal Posts: Periodically check the sisal wrapping for wear and tear. While durable, heavy use may require replacement of the sisal rope over time.

General Care:

• Place the cat tree in a dry area, away from excessive moisture or direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
• Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Check for any loose or damaged parts and address them promptly to ensure your cat's safety.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your PETEPELA Cat Tree, please refer to the following common solutions.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Wobbling or Instability:
  Ensure all screws are securely tightened. Verify that the cat tree is placed on a flat, even surface. If wobbling persists, ensure the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a wall.
• Loose or Damaged Parts:
  Inspect all components for any signs of damage or wear. If a part is loose, re-tighten it. For damaged parts, contact customer support for assistance or replacement.
• Cats Not Using Scratching Posts:
  Try enticing your cat by sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts or demonstrating scratching behavior. Ensure the posts are stable and at a comfortable height for your cat.
• Excessive Fuzz/Shedding from Fabric:
  Some initial shedding of plush material is normal. Regular vacuuming can help manage this. If shedding is excessive or persistent, ensure the product is not being subjected to harsh cleaning methods or abrasive contact.
