6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your VINGLI Glider Bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots or wood damage. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Wood Care: The fir wood construction is naturally resistant to outdoor elements and is UV-resistant and waterproof. However, for prolonged life and to maintain its finish, consider applying a wood sealant annually, especially if exposed to direct sunlight and rain constantly.
• Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts and nuts. Re-tighten any that have become loose due to use or environmental changes.
• Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh winter weather, storing the glider indoors or covering it with a protective cover is recommended.
