FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about cleaning & maintenance.

Cleaning & Maintenance

No, most all-purpose cleaners can damage electronics. Instead, use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-safe cleaner.

Soak in warm soapy water + 1 tbsp vinegar for 10 mins, rinse, and air-dry upside down.

Reputable services offer a satisfaction guarantee—contact them within 24 hours for a re-clean.

Microfiber: Every 3–6 months. String mops: When fibers fray or smell persists after washing.
