Start with what Nami actually is
Nami is a wall-mounted wooden structure with wave-like steps and smooth, finely sanded beds. Because it is mounted rather than floor-standing, dust and litter particles settle on its surfaces and in the step recesses rather than underneath it. That shape guides the whole routine: most of the work is surface cleaning and litter control, not deep washing.
The supplied information does not include fabric covers, removable cushions, or cleaning instructions for the wood. Treat any cleaning method beyond gentle dusting and spot cleaning as unconfirmed until you check the care guidance that came with your unit.
A weekly Nami care routine
Do these in order so you are not wiping dust onto a damp surface or spreading litter around.
- 1. Dust the beds and steps: Use a soft dry cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment on the flat bed surfaces and along the gradual wave steps. Litter dust and hair collect on horizontal wood, and dry removal is the least risky first step for a finely sanded finish.
- 2. Spot-clean rest areas: Wipe the bed surface where your cat actually lies with a barely damp cloth, then dry it immediately. The supplied record describes butter-smooth wood, so avoid soaking it or leaving standing moisture.
- 3. Clear the step recesses: Run a dry brush or vacuum crevice tool along the joints where the steps meet the beds. This is where tracked litter and loose fur accumulate on a wall-mounted piece.
- 4. Check the mount: Nami installs with a French cleat system. During your weekly pass, look at the cleat and the wall contact points for looseness or movement. If anything shifts, stop using the bed until it is re-secured.
- 5. Refresh the surrounding floor: Vacuum or sweep directly below and in front of Nami. Litter that falls from the steps is often what makes the whole area smell used, even when the wood itself is clean.
Cat bed odor control when there is no removable cover
Odor on a wooden bed usually comes from three sources: litter dust, saliva or fur left where your cat rests, and dampness trapped against the surface. Address them in that order.
- Rule out the litter box first: If the smell is strong and sudden, check the litter box and the floor around Nami before assuming the bed itself is the source. A wall-mounted bed sits above the floor, so odors often rise from below.
- Air, don't perfume: Open a window or use a room fan after cleaning. Avoid spraying fragrance directly onto the wood; the supplied information does not confirm that any finish is fragrance-safe.
- Keep the surface dry: Damp wood holds odor. After any spot clean, dry the area with a clean cloth and let it air before your cat returns.
- Ask before using enzyme or solvent cleaners: The supplied record does not include approved cleaning agents for Nami. Contact Mau support or check your included care information before using anything stronger than a damp cloth.
What the Nami record confirms
- Nami: Nami is a wall-mounted wooden structure with finely sanded, butter-smooth beds and gradual wave-like steps. Smooth horizontal wood is easy to dust but shows litter and hair quickly, so weekly dry cleaning matters more than deep washing.
Nami - Nami: It installs with a French cleat system. A mounted bed can loosen over time; include a mount check in your routine rather than only cleaning the surfaces.
- Nami: Nami is available in a Natural color option. Lighter wood shows dust and litter more visibly, which is one reason a short weekly pass is more useful than an occasional deep clean.
How often to clean, realistically
For most households, a five-minute weekly pass covers dusting, spot cleaning, and the mount check. If your cat sheds heavily or tracks litter onto the steps, do the dry dusting twice a week and save the damp spot clean for visible marks.
A full deep clean is not described in the supplied Nami information. If you feel the bed needs more than surface cleaning, ask Mau support what is approved for the wood finish before trying a product or method.
Cat bed washing tips that apply to the rest of your setup
Nami itself is not supplied with a removable fabric cover, but the bedding and blankets your cat uses nearby still need regular washing. These habits keep the whole sleep area fresher.
- Wash bedding on a schedule, not by smell: A weekly or biweekly wash of any loose blanket or mat near Nami prevents oils and saliva from building up. Follow the care label on that item; the Nami record does not cover textiles.
- Keep a spare: A second blanket lets you swap and wash without leaving your cat without a familiar sleeping surface.
- Dry thoroughly: Damp bedding placed back on or near wood can transfer moisture. Dry items completely before returning them to the sleep area.
