Care and maintenance
Here are some tips to keep your new bed in tip-top condition
Cleaning
To clean your new bed, we'd advise using a warm damp cloth or if fabric, remove
dust using a low suction vacuum cleaner.
Please do not use abrasive chemicals or bleach as this may damage the product.
Checking and moving
Periodically we recommend you check that the screws or fixtures haven't become
loose over time. To move your new bed, we recommend lifting it where possible, as
dragging or pushing it could cause damage to the legs or flooring.
Wood
Please note each of our wooden pieces are unique, meaning that markings and
shade can vary slightly between beds. Over a period of time, the wood might
lighten or fade slightly due to light exposure.
Fabric
Please note depending on the lighting, positioning and surroundings of your
period of time, the colour might lighten or fade slightly due to light exposure.
Metal
Metal tends to be more resilient to everyday wear and tear. We recommend to
gently dust your metal furniture and keep it dry to maintain its look.
Thank you for shopping with us - we hope you have a
great night's sleep.
