Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your bench.
- Cleaning Fabric: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the boucle fabric regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, a mild fabric cleaner designed for upholstery can be used, following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning Wood Legs: Wipe the rubber wood legs with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately with another clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Protection: Consider using furniture pads under the legs to protect your floors.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the bench away from excessive moisture and humidity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bench wobbles after assembly. | Bolts are not evenly tightened or legs are not properly aligned. | Loosen all bolts slightly, gently press down on the bench to settle it, then re-tighten all bolts evenly and firmly. Ensure legs are fully inserted into their respective slots. |
| Fabric appears flattened or matted. | Normal wear and tear, or prolonged pressure in one area. | Gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled brush to restore its texture. Rotate the bench's position periodically if possible to distribute wear. |
| Scratches on wooden legs. | Impact or abrasion during use. | Minor scratches can often be concealed with a wood repair marker or furniture polish matching the wood tone. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be needed. |
