Keeping your metal frame bed in excellent condition not only enhances its appearance but also prolongs its life. Follow these maintenance tips from ARV Furniture to ensure your bed remains sturdy and stylish for years:
✅ 1. Regular Dusting and Cleaning
Wipe the metal frame with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth weekly.
For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
Dry the surface completely to prevent rust buildup.
✅ 2. Rust Prevention
Check joints and corners for signs of rust or corrosion.
If rust appears, gently sand the spot with fine-grit sandpaper, then touch up with rust-resistant paint.
Keep the bed away from moisture-prone areas like windows or humidifiers.
✅ 3. Tighten Screws and Bolts
Every few months, inspect all bolts and screws.
Use a wrench or screwdriver to tighten any loose components to avoid squeaking or instability.
✅ 4. Use Proper Weight Support
Avoid exceeding the weight limit mentioned by the manufacturer.
Using a proper mattress and foundation helps distribute weight evenly, preventing frame bending.
✅ 5. Avoid Dragging the Bed
When rearranging furniture, lift the metal bed frame instead of dragging it to prevent damaging floors and loosening joints.
✅ 6. Add Felt Pads
Place felt pads or rubber stoppers under bed legs to prevent scratches on floors and reduce noise during movement.
✅ 7. Check for Paint Chipping
Inspect the bed frame’s painted finish for scratches or chips. Touch up with matching enamel paint to maintain its look and protect the metal.
✅ 8. Keep Away from Excessive Heat
Avoid placing the bed near heat sources like radiators or heaters, which can cause paint to bubble or weaken the metal structure over time.
