Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and safety of your loft bed:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
• Structural Integrity: Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the wood frame or slats. Discontinue use if significant damage is found and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting
