Your Fit n' Fun Cat Wheel provides your feline friend with endless hours of exercise and entertainment. To ensure it continues to function at its best for years to come, a little routine maintenance is key. Thankfully, caring for your wheel is simple! This guide will walk you through the steps to keep it clean, safe, and ready for action.
Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Fun
The good news is that Fit n' Fun Cat Wheels are designed for durability. With stainless steel hardware, they require less fuss than you might think. However, a few precautions and checks will go a long way.
Key Care Tips:
-
Sunlight Sensitivity: Like many plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the material over time. Position your cat wheel away from windows where it receives intense, all-day sun.
-
Temperature Matters: Extreme temperatures, whether very hot or very cold, can also affect the plastic. While your cat may enjoy a cozy workout, store the wheel in a room where you, too, feel comfortable. Normal room temperature is ideal.
Cleaning the Wheel:
-
EVA Foam Tiles: The running surface of your wheel is made of EVA foam tiles. To clean them, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth using mild, warm soapy water. It's important to ensure the tiles are completely dry before your cat resumes their workout to prevent slips.
-
Dust and Fur Removal: Periodically remove the wheel from its base and vacuum any accumulated dust, debris, or cat fur from the skater wheels and the frame. This will help maintain smooth rotation.
Safety Checks:
-
Nuts and Bolts: Over time, the nuts and bolts that hold your cat wheel together may loosen slightly due to vibrations. Regularly inspect them and tighten them as needed.
