Troubleshooting
Corner guard not sticking securely
Ensure the furniture surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply pressure or consider using stronger double-sided adhesive tape suitable for furniture if the original tape fails.
Guard detaches after a short period
The surface might have been contaminated with oil or dust. Clean the surface again and reapply the guard, ensuring it's pressed firmly for an extended period. Allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended 12-24 hours.
Difficulty removing the guard without damaging furniture
Gently warm the adhesive with a hairdryer on a low setting, then carefully peel the guard away. Any residue can typically be removed with a mild adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol.
Guard appears to be chewed or damaged
While the material is food-approved, excessive chewing can degrade the product over time. Inspect regularly for wear and tear and replace if damaged to ensure continued safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Peel the backing off the adhesive tape attached to the corner guard.
- Carefully align the corner guard with the furniture edge and press firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.

Care:
To clean the corner guards, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material or the adhesive. Ensure the guards are dry after cleaning.
