Maintaining your MDF TV cabinet with spacious shelves and sliding drawers ensures it stays beautiful and functional for years. Follow these smart care tips from ARV Furniture:
✅ 1. Regular Dusting
Use a soft microfiber cloth to dust the surface weekly.
Avoid feather dusters—they may scratch the MDF laminate or painted finish.
✅ 2. Keep It Dry
MDF is sensitive to moisture. Quickly wipe any spills with a dry cloth.
Avoid placing the cabinet in humid areas or directly near windows.
✅ 3. Clean Sliding Drawers Properly
Use a vacuum nozzle or soft brush to clean the tracks of sliding drawers.
Apply silicone spray lubricant occasionally to keep the sliders working smoothly.
✅ 4. Use Gentle Cleaners
Mix a few drops of dish soap in water for general cleaning.
Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners—they may damage the surface coating.
✅ 5. Avoid Excess Weight
Don’t overload the shelves or drawers—check the manufacturer’s weight limits.
Use the spacious shelves for balanced storage, avoiding heavy electronic equipment beyond capacity.
✅ 6. Protect from Heat & Sunlight
Keep the cabinet away from heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
Direct sunlight can fade finishes—use curtains or blinds to reduce exposure.
✅ 7. Pad Under Electronics
Place soft felt pads or rubber mats under TVs, speakers, or consoles to prevent surface scratches.
✅ 8. Level and Anchor
Make sure the cabinet sits on a level surface to avoid stress on joints.
For safety, especially in homes with children, anchor the unit to the wall if possible.
✅ 9. Check for Loose Screws or Fittings
Every few months, inspect and tighten any loose hardware or fittings.
For long-lasting beauty and function, regular care is key. If you have any maintenance questions, ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario is always here to help!
