Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Vanity Art cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that can damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any water spills or moisture to prevent water damage, as the cabinet is water-resistant but not waterproof.
- Drawer Glides: Periodically check drawer glides for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
