# Cleaning and Caring for Your Carbon Frame
## Learn the best practices for maintaining your Factor carbon frame's pristine condition and performance.
Proper care of your Factor carbon frame ensures longevity and performance:
1. **Cleaning:**
- Use mild soap and water
- Avoid high-pressure water directly on bearings
- Dry thoroughly after washing
2. **Inspection:**
- Regularly check for any cracks or damage
- Pay special attention to high-stress areas
3. **Protection:**
- Use frame protection stickers in high-wear areas
- Store bike indoors away from direct sunlight
4. **Don'ts:**
- Never use solvents or abrasive materials
- Avoid clamping the frame directly in a work stand
If you notice any unusual marks or sounds, have your frame inspected by a qualified technician immediately.
