6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ARNEGA vanity unit.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for furniture. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents.
- Moisture: Although the unit is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. Immediately wipe away any water spills or condensation to prevent damage to the MDF material. Ensure good ventilation in the bathroom.
- Drawer Mechanisms: Periodically check the drawer slides and push-to-open mechanisms for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone spray can be applied to the slides (avoiding contact with wood surfaces).
- Fasteners: Occasionally check all assembly and mounting fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
