Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Merax platform bed.
- Upholstery Care: For the velvet headboard and frame, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.
- Frame Care: Wipe the wooden components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
