- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the steel frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- General Cleaning: For the velvet upholstery, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
