To keep your Evolur AI-846-02 Toddler Guard Rail in top condition, follow these cleaning and care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with water to wipe the surface. Avoid window cleaners and abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch and damage the finish.
- Humidity Control: Maintain a room humidity level between 35-40% to prevent wood expansion or contraction. Keep the guard rail away from air conditioning vents, fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers.
- Temperature: Maintain a room temperature between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sticky Drawers/Doors: Changes in temperature and humidity can cause doors and drawers to stick. Consider using a dehumidifier or applying candle wax or paraffin to the sticking areas until the wood adjusts.
- Sunlight Protection: Shield the guard rail from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, darkening, or finish cracking. Sunlight can also cause white finishes to yellow.
- Storage: When storing, avoid damp basements and hot, dry attics. Allow air circulation around the guard rail and do not stack items on it.
- General Care Tips:
- Protect the surface from hot or cold items.
- Use coasters under beverages.
- Avoid synthetic fabrics under accessories.
- Protect the surface from pens, markers, and crayons.
- Avoid dragging items across the surface.
- Rotate accessories and lamps.
- Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed). Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Polish the surface only a few times a year.
- Do not wax the furniture.
- Lift the guard rail when moving it.
- Keep the guard rail level to ensure doors and drawers function properly.
