6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your acacia wood cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Acacia Wood Care: Acacia wood is naturally durable and low maintenance. To maintain its rich color and protect it from weathering, it is recommended to treat the wood with a suitable wood oil (e.g., teak oil) once or twice a year, especially if exposed to direct sunlight or harsh weather.
- Protection: During prolonged periods of adverse weather (heavy rain, snow, extreme heat), consider covering the cabinet or moving it to a sheltered area to prevent premature aging or damage.
- Inspection: Periodically check all hardware for tightness and signs of wear. Tighten any loose screws.

- Doors do not close properly: Check the hinges for proper alignment. Ensure no items inside are obstructing the doors. Re-adjust hinges if necessary.
- Wood appears dry or faded: This is normal for outdoor wood. Apply a suitable wood oil as described in the Maintenance section.
