Maintenance Tips

• Clean sleeves regularly: Wipe off overspray, dust, and dried finish so the surface stays smooth and doesn’t transfer residue to cabinet doors.
• Check for cracks or splits: Inspect each sleeve for damage—broken sleeves reduce protection and can scratch fresh finishes.
• Keep sleeves fully seated on rods: Ensure they are properly aligned and covering the full contact area to prevent metal-to-wood contact.
• Remove heavy paint buildup: If coating accumulates, clean or replace sleeves to maintain a non-marking surface.
• Avoid harsh solvents: Strong chemicals can weaken polypropylene over time—use mild cleaners only.
• Rotate or replace worn sleeves: High-use zones may flatten or glaze; swapping them keeps contact even and consistent.
• Store spare sleeves dry and clean: Prevent warping or contamination before installation on racks
