Maintenance Tips
-
Clean felts regularly: Remove dust, overspray, and dried finish so the cushioning surface stays smooth and does not transfer marks onto freshly painted parts.
-
Check adhesion often: Ensure each felt stays firmly snapped/attached to the shelf—loose pads can shift and create uneven contact points.
-
Replace worn or flattened felts: If pads lose cushioning or become compressed, replace them to maintain proper surface protection.
-
Inspect before every load: Quick visual check helps avoid scratches from missing or damaged pads during cabinet door drying cycles.
-
Avoid chemical saturation: Keep solvents and strong cleaners away from felts, as they can weaken adhesive and reduce lifespan.
-
Keep shelves clean underneath: Dirt trapped under felts can create high spots that imprint onto finished surfaces.
-
Store rack in dry conditions: Prevent moisture buildup that can degrade adhesive backing and affect long-term performance.
