6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Aiho bed frame.
- Cleaning Upholstery: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the upholstered headboard and frame with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner or use a mild fabric cleaner according to its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or chemical solvents on any part of the bed frame, as these can damage the fabric or finish.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is squeaking. | Loose bolts or improper slat placement. | Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Verify that all wood slats are properly seated and the Velcro is engaged. The mute bars should also be correctly positioned. |
| Bed frame feels unstable. | Loose connections or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all bolts. Ensure all support legs are firmly on the ground. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads or shims under the legs. |
| Mattress sags between slats. | Mattress too thin or slats not properly installed. | Ensure your mattress is within the recommended 8"-14" thickness. Verify all slats are evenly spaced and securely fastened. |
