7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Boucle Fabric

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your boucle upholstered bed frame:

• Regularly vacuum the fabric using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
• For tougher stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for upholstery. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.

7.2 Frame Care

• Wipe down metal and wood components with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid exposing the frame to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Bed Frame Squeaks

• Check all bolts and screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
• Ensure the wooden slats are properly seated and the Velcro strips are firmly attached to prevent movement.

8.2 Headboard Not Fully Rebounded

• As the headboard backrests are vacuum packed, they require 2-3 days to fully expand. Allow sufficient time.
• Gentle fluffing or manipulation of the cushions can help accelerate the rebound process.
