Use mild soap and water<\/li><li><strong>Skipping daily checks:<\/strong> A frayed rope can snap during class, causing injury. Daily visual inspection takes 30 seconds<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>How often should I replace reformer springs?<\/strong><br>Every 12\u201318 months for commercial use, 2\u20133 years for home use. Replace all springs at once for consistent tension.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Can I lubricate the carriage tracks?<\/strong><br>No \u2014 unless your manufacturer specifically recommends it. Most modern reformers use sealed bearings that don&#8217;t need lubrication. Wipe tracks clean with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do I clean upholstery?<\/strong><br>Mild soap and water. Wipe after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a vinyl cleaner designed for gym equipment. Avoid alcohol-based products.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the most commonly overlooked maintenance task?<\/strong><br>Checking bolt tightness. Vibration from daily use loosens bolts over time. A monthly check of all fasteners prevents structural issues.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do I know when springs need replacement?<\/strong><br>Compare springs of the same color \u2014 they should provide identical resistance. If one spring feels significantly looser or tighter than others of the same type, replace the set.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Replacement Parts?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Megacore offers replacement springs, ropes, upholstery, and bearings for all our reformer models. <a href=\"\/es\/pongase-en-contacto-con\/\">Contact our parts team<\/a> for pricing and availability.
