Here are some smart tips to take care of storage space furniture pieces from ARV Furniture:

1. Regular Cleaning

Dust Frequently: Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down surfaces. Dust buildup can dull finishes and scratch wood or laminate.

Vacuum Storage Compartments: If your furniture has drawers, cabinets, or under-bed storage, vacuum inside regularly to keep it free from dust and pests.

2. Avoid Overloading

Check Weight Capacity: Storage beds, dressers, and cabinets are designed to hold a certain weight. Overloading can cause warping, sagging, or broken drawers.

Distribute Evenly: Spread items out evenly in drawers or shelves to prevent strain on hinges and sliders.

3. Protect Against Moisture

Keep Dry: Moisture can damage wood, metal, and upholstered storage units. Use dehumidifiers in humid rooms.

Use Liners: Drawer or shelf liners protect against accidental spills and scratches.

4. Handle with Care

Open/Close Gently: Avoid slamming drawers or pulling on cabinet doors roughly. Soft-closing mechanisms should be respected to prolong their life.

Use Handles Properly: Always pull storage drawers/doors using the handles instead of edges to prevent damage.

5. Maintain Hardware

Check Hinges & Sliders: Tighten screws and lubricate sliders periodically for smooth movement.

Replace Damaged Parts Promptly: If a hinge or knob loosens or breaks, replace it quickly to prevent bigger damage.

6. Protect the Finish

Use Coasters & Mats: On storage coffee tables or TV units, place coasters under hot or wet items.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use mild cleaners suitable for the furniture’s material (wood polish for wood, glass cleaner for tempered glass, etc.).

7. Organize Smartly

Rotate Stored Items: If you use storage furniture for seasonal items (like blankets or clothing), rotate them occasionally to avoid permanent creases or odors.

Use Storage Bins: Keep smaller items inside labeled bins within the storage space to maintain neatness.

8. Placement & Positioning

Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV rays can fade wood and fabric. Position storage furniture away from direct sunlight.

Leave Breathing Space: Keep furniture a few inches from the wall to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup.

✅ Following these steps ensures that your storage beds, dressers, cabinets, and TV units from ARV Furniture remain durable, functional, and stylish for years.
