4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your cat tree.
- Cushions: The fluffy cushions are detachable and can be hand washed. Use mild detergent and cold water, then air dry completely before placing them back on the tree.
- Surfaces: Wipe down plush and rattan surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and pet hair. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Scratching Posts: Inspect sisal posts periodically for wear and tear. While durable, heavily used posts may eventually need replacement to maintain their effectiveness.
