Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your VINGLI Wooden Windmill.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood or coating.

- Structural Integrity: Annually inspect all joints and fasteners for tightness. Re-tighten any loose screws or bolts to maintain stability.
- Weather Protection: Although weatherproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., severe storms, prolonged heavy snow) may warrant temporary relocation to a sheltered area or additional securing measures.
- Wood Treatment: Over time, the weatherproofing coating may require reapplication to maintain its protective qualities and prevent fading. Consult a local hardware store for suitable outdoor wood sealants or stains.
