6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, spot clean only. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these may damage the bamboo finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the frame's stability and extend its longevity.

Instability:

• Ensure the bed frame is placed on a flat, level surface.

Mattress Slippage:
