MAINTAINING YOUR LOFT
Periodically inspect for cracks, breaks, loose
parts, missing parts, and/or malfunctions.
Check caps to be sure they remain tightly
screwed down. Remove the product from ser-
vice when any condition develops which might
make operation unsafe.
You can wash the wooden parts of your loft,
but remember, wood and water are natural en-
emies. Don’t soak; work fast, use a stiff brush
with soap and water (or a detergent, as you
would for washing dishes).
When cleaning plastic surfaces, do not use
harsh detergents or cleansers. These may
scratch or mar the surface. Nontoxic house-
hold plastic cleaners should work well. Test a
small patch of the plastic surface before full
application.
If you plan to store your loft, remember it is
made of wood, and needs to be stored in a
dry place.

CLEANING YOUR CARPETS
You will not need to wash your carpets as
often if you vacuum them frequently. When
you do need to wash them, however, they are
designed to come off for cleaning. Give the cor-
ner a gentle tug to remove it from the wooden
platform or panel. Clean by hand or with a car-
pet cleaner. Do not machine wash. Replace the
carpet when completely dry.
The carpets are made of a nylon fiber weave.
