Maintenance and Care
To keep your PAX wardrobe in optimal condition, wipe the surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight and secure. If you encounter any issues during assembly or notice missing parts, contact your local store for assistance.
