6.1 Cleaning
To clean the kitchen island, wipe all surfaces with a dry cloth. For the rubberwood countertop, a damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.

- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
- Avoid exposing the island to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Do not place hot items directly on the countertop without protection.
