5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your cat tree and ensures a clean environment for your pets.
- Cleaning: The plush cushioned pads are machine washable. Remove them from the platforms and follow the care instructions on the label. For other plush surfaces, use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and debris. Spot clean any soiled areas with a mild pet-safe cleaner and a damp cloth.
- Sisal Posts: The sisal scratching posts are designed to withstand regular scratching. Over time, the sisal may fray; this is normal wear and tear.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose parts to maintain stability.
- Placement: Place the cat tree on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near open flames, heaters, or in areas with excessive moisture.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Heybly HCT037G XL Cat Tree, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbling: Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened. Verify the cat tree is placed on a level surface. If wobbling persists, ensure the anti-tip kit is correctly installed and secured to a wall.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unboxing, please contact Heybly customer support with your purchase details.
- Unstable Platforms: Check that the posts supporting the platforms are securely screwed into both the platform above and below.
