Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your AMERLIFE bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the frame with a dry, soft cloth.
- Tightening: Periodically check and retighten all bolts and screws to maintain stability and prevent squeaking. This is especially important after the first few weeks of use.
