Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a dry towel to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the velvet upholstery or gold finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose hardware as needed to maintain stability and prevent noise.
• Upholstery Care: For velvet upholstery, use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to gently remove dust. Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth and mild soap, then blot dry.

• Missing or Damaged Parts: If any components are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact HOWE customer support immediately for assistance. Do not attempt to assemble with incomplete or damaged parts.
• Squeaking Noises: Check all connections and tighten any loose bolts. Ensure the slats are properly seated within their supports and that the EVA foam is correctly positioned to minimize friction.
