Although the wood is sealed, water or even excessive dampness may cause warpage or discoloration of the slats.
Dust can be easily
be brushed off at regular intervals using a clean, soft dust cloth or
a vacuum cleaner brush attachment.
TO DUST: Use a
soft, clean cloth and tilt the slats up and then down (but not
entirely closed) to reach the entire top & bottom surfaces.
TO VACUUM: Use the brush dust
head attachment and tilt slats.
