Proper maintenance of storage space furniture ensures durability, keeps it functional, and preserves its appearance. Here are smart tips to care for your ARV Furniture storage pieces:

✅ 1. Dust Regularly
Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust from surfaces, edges, and handles.

For intricate carvings or joints, use a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment.

✅ 2. Clean with Mild Products
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water for gentle cleaning.

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that can damage finishes, especially on wood or veneer.

✅ 3. Avoid Overloading Drawers & Shelves
Respect the weight limits of drawers, doors, and lift-up compartments.

Overstuffing can cause warping, loosening of joints, or broken tracks.

✅ 4. Keep Away from Moisture
Do not place storage furniture in high-humidity areas.

Wipe up spills immediately to prevent swelling, mold, or warping.

✅ 5. Protect Surfaces
Use coasters, placemats, or trays on top surfaces to avoid scratches and stains.

Add felt pads under decor items to avoid friction marks.

✅ 6. Maintain Sliding & Hinged Mechanisms
Lubricate metal tracks or hinges annually using silicone-based lubricant.

Check for loose screws or fittings and tighten as needed.

✅ 7. Organize Internally
Use storage bins or organizers inside drawers or cabinets to prevent internal scuffing and make cleaning easier.

Rotate stored items occasionally to avoid compression marks.

✅ 8. Sunlight Protection
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade or crack surfaces.

Keep furniture away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.

✅ 9. Lift with Care
When moving, lift the furniture instead of dragging to avoid damage to legs or joints.

Empty storage compartments before shifting to reduce weight stress.

✅ 10. Seasonal Maintenance
In dry winter months, consider using a humidifier to prevent wooden parts from shrinking or cracking.

Inspect for pest activity if storing fabrics or papers inside.
