CARE FOR THE FINISH:
C Periodically the drawer fronts, drawer trim, and other chest and cart surfaces should be cleaned with
a mild detergent and water to keep them looking new.
C Auto wax will preserve the storage unit’s high luster finish. Apply the wax as to a car. The wax will
help protect the unit against scratches.
C Grease and oil can be removed with most standard cleaning fluids. For safety, use a nonflammable
cleaning fluid.
C Drawer liners are supplied and recommended to protect the finish inside the drawers and make them
easier to clean. Drawer liners may be cleaned with soap and water.
