Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The plush surfaces and removable pads can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, the manufacturer recommends "Dry Clean Only" for the fabric components.

- Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Odor Control: To minimize odors, regularly vacuum the cat tree and ensure proper ventilation in the room.
