5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your MADELA vanity.
5.1 General Cleaning
- Cabinet Surfaces (MDF, Particle Board): Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for wood or laminate surfaces. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid excessive moisture, harsh chemicals, and abrasive cleaning pads.
- Ceramic Basins: Clean with a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive powders, steel wool, or strong acid/alkaline cleaners, which can damage the ceramic glaze.

5.2 Long-Term Care
- Avoid direct exposure to prolonged sunlight or extreme temperature changes, which can affect wood-based materials.
- Immediately wipe up any spills, especially water, to prevent swelling or damage to the cabinet materials.
