Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your storage tower.
- Cleaning the Frame and Top: Wipe the steel frame and P2 board top with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The P2 board is water-resistant, making spills easy to clean.
- Cleaning Fabric Bins: The nonwoven fabric bins can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Drawer Integrity: The fabric drawers feature MDF boards for enhanced longevity. Ensure these boards remain properly seated within the bins.
