for long-term ROI. The following are the tips for
maintaining wooden beds for their extended
lifespan, radiance, and functionality
Avoid Moisture Intrusion

exposed to excess moisture and humid areas.
Hence, we recommend keeping your beds away from
direct sunlight and windows to avoid rain
droplets and intrusion of winter external factors
to prevent them from damage and extend their
longevity.

Check for Loose Joints
It is essential to regularly inspect your bed
frame to ensure there are no loose joints or
screws. If you detect any, tighten them to
maintain the beds structural integrity and
stability.
Polish and Wax
Ensure to wood polish or wax once every 4-6
months to maintain the original radiance of the
bed and cover up from any rough surfaces and
scratches developed on edges or rails. Also, it
will make the texture look rich and glistening.
21
Regular Cleaning
Develop a habit of regularly cleaning your bed
from all corners, edges, and primary surfaces
using a clean, damp cloth and gently wiping off
dust, dirt, and spills. It prevents external
pollutants from settling into the wood grain and
causing adverse damage.
Coffee Spills

spills on the wood immediately before it enter
its inner components and affects its structure
and overall appearance.
