6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your TV stand.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish. For the faux marble top, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the veneer.
- Protection: Use coasters or protective pads under hot or wet items placed on the tabletop. Avoid direct sunlight exposure for prolonged periods to prevent fading.
