recomendations for use and maintnance
1. Introduction
Thank you for having chosen Gamadecor when selecting your wardrobe.
In order to your wardrobe continues to look new for a long time and you can keep it in perfect condition, please
read the following practical tips for cleaning and maintenance.
Because of its daily use, a wardrobe has to meet high-level demands. That is the reason why all materials we use
for its manufacture are top quality. The manufacturing process has been controlled in its different stages with the
purpose of obtaining a reliable product, which can offer the same features of use for many years.
2. Cleaning and maintenance tips
It is advisable to clean the wardrobe frequently instead of doing it more thoroughly at longer intervals. In spite of
the endurance of the surfaces, dirt tends to build up over time. In order to void the use of abrasive cleaning pro-
ducts, clean it regularly at short intervals.
The maintenance of Gamadecor wardrobes is quite simple. However, when cleaning them, you should never use
such utensils and cleaning products as sharp objects, rough scouring pads, solvents, bleach, nail polish remover,
vinegar, citric acid, abrasive products, polishes, etc.
Please do not use steam machines for cleaning wardrobes or walk-in-closets. Pressure makes the water steam get
into de materials and makes them swell damaging the wood.
Due to its composition, texture, finish, hardness, etc., the materials of Gamadecor wardrobes require some special
care, which we describe as follows:
Cleaning in general
To eliminate dust, grease stains, fingerprints and cooking fumes, dissolve some mild soap in a container of warm
water. Wipe the cabinets with a damp cloth and then dry all surfaces, specially the corners, with a soft clean dry
cloth.
If you have any doubts about the effect a cleaning product might have on a surface, we recommend trying it in
a less visible place to check for any changes in colour or other alterations.
Laminate surfaces:
They are the easiest to clean and there are no special instructions.
Wood and veneered surfaces:
Clean with slightly wet cloths and do not rub strongly to remove the most resistant stains. Rub and dry in the direc-
tion of the vein so the wood can keep its beauty and natural look. (see Figure 1).
If there is a stain-resistant, it could be used a small quantity of ammonia dissolved in water.
Lacquered surfaces:
For daily cleaning, we recommend using a soft leather cloth, Vileda or a spongy cloth. Products such as window
cleaning liquids are also welcome for this kind of finishes.
The cloth always has to be wet. Never use a dry one.
Glass surfaces:
You can clean them with the same products you use for cleaning windowpanes and the like.
Cleaning of plinth space
The frontal strips of the plinth have a mechanism, which makes them easy to assemble and disassemble when
cleaning the space of the plinth under the base units.
3. Measures to avoid damages caused by water
Do not use vapour steam cleaners to clean your cabinets (see Figure 2). The pressure of the water vapour filters
into the materials and causes a swelling, which damages the units seriously.
Keep all surfaces dry avoiding frequent and prolonged spillages of liquid food, either cold or hot. Do not open the
units with wet hands.
4. Atmosphere conditions
Wood is a natural product that reacts to changes in temperature and above all to a humid atmosphere with
expansions and contractions. The atmosphere humidity should range between 55 to 70 % and the temperature,
between 18 to 22º C. In order to achieve these ideal conditions, we recommend to take the following precautions:
Using humidifiers or, if this is not possible, keeping a container with water in it somewhere in the wardrobe when the
central heating is working.
Recently built houses usually have an atmosphere humidity of over 70%. Here, good ventilation is essential.
Seaside and countryside climates are the ones with the biggest differences in atmosphere humidity. Thus, it is ne-
cessary to maximize the precautions in these areas.
As an additional measure to keep the beauty of your wardrobe, we recommend preventing the sunrays from fa-
lling directly on the wood. In spite of the quality of the lacquers, which contain components that protect the wood
against ultra-violet radiation, wood can suffer discoloration as time goes by if derectly and continually exposed
to sunlight.
5. End of the life cycle of the product
Once the life cycle of the product has finalised and it is decided to dispose of it, we would kinly ask you to follow
your region/city current regulations for the convenient segregation of the materials the product is composed of.
We recommend the use of ECOPARCS or municipal systems of collection.
