Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your cat tree and ensure a hygienic environment for your pets:

• Cleaning: Use a lint roller or vacuum cleaner to remove loose fur and debris from the plush surfaces. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Sisal Rope: Periodically check the sisal scratching posts for fraying. While sisal is durable, heavy use may require replacement of posts over time.
• Stability Check: Every few weeks, check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Toy Inspection: Inspect hanging toys for damage. Replace if they become detached or pose a choking hazard.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your cat tree, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Issue: The cat tree feels wobbly or unstable.
  Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify the base is on a flat, even surface. If necessary, reposition the tree or place shims under the base.
• Issue: Cats are not using the scratching posts.
  Solution: Try sprinkling catnip on the sisal posts to attract your cat. Gently guide your cat's paws to the posts to demonstrate their use.
• Issue: Missing parts during assembly.
  Solution: Double-check the packaging. If parts are genuinely missing, contact PayLessHere customer support with your purchase details.
• Issue: Plush fabric is shedding.
  Solution: This can be normal for new plush items. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose fibers. Continued excessive shedding may indicate a defect; contact support.
