Wardrobes, like people, also need maintenance!

2025-11-04

 Nowadays, people have increasingly higher demands for quality of life, so customized wardrobes are gradually gaining importance in home style and overall environment matching. In the past, most wardrobes were walk-in closets, which required a lot of space and were not considered suitable for small apartments. Now, customized wardrobes can be tailored to specific space requirements, which is why they are so popular. Therefore, the maintenance of customized wardrobes has become an important consideration. Below, Yijiaju editors will briefly explain the maintenance details.

Maintenance methods for custom-made wardrobes

1. Maintenance and cleaning of the wardrobe surface: During use, try to avoid damaging or scratching the wardrobe surface. If there are minor scratches or dents, you can use a cotton cloth dipped in a mixture of cigarette ash and lemon juice or cooking oil to wipe the surface. After it dries, apply wax for maintenance. If the scratches are deeper or the dents are more serious, you will need to mix paint of the same color to touch up the color, or you can buy a touch-up agent from a wardrobe specialty store to repair it.

2. Moisture prevention for wardrobes: The main body of a wardrobe is made of wood panels. If moisture is not prevented, the panels can easily swell and warp, leading to damage and rendering the wardrobe unusable. Therefore, during the rainy season in spring, it is essential to keep the room well-ventilated and frequently wipe the wardrobe with a dry cloth. You can also place some desiccant inside the wardrobe. It is important to note that the desiccant used should ideally not have any other odors, to prevent the volatile odors from damaging the clothes inside the wardrobe.

3. Regularly inspect the three-in-one connectors of the wardrobe back panel and shelves, especially after severe impacts. If any loosening is found, tighten them immediately and apply a small amount of lubricant to prevent corrosion from rust. If a malfunction occurs during secondary disassembly or assembly, promptly notify the authorized store or manufacturer for assistance. Prevent impacts or collisions from external forces or heavy objects. Handle the wardrobe slides and doors gently; avoid forceful pushing or slamming.

4. It is normal for the light rail door pulleys to make noise after prolonged use. To ensure that the pulleys remain smooth and quiet for a long time, please add a little lubricating oil along the upper and lower pulleys every 2-3 months.

5. Wardrobe Placement: When using a wardrobe, ensure it is placed on a level surface and avoid placing it in high, vibrating, damp, or directly exposed locations. Keep the room well-ventilated and prevent the wardrobe surface from coming into contact with corrosive liquids such as alcohol, thinner, gasoline, nail polish, strong acids, and strong alkalis.

6. When using sliding doors, always check if the handle is protruding. If it is, press it down first, otherwise it may damage the cabinet or the handle.
