7. Maintenance and Care
To maintain your Cumbor baby gate, regularly wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check all screws and mounting points to ensure they remain tight and secure. Lubricate hinges if necessary to ensure smooth operation.
