Small cast iron furniture can be seen everywhere on sofas, carpets, dining tables, etc., adding fun to life. In a large space, the editor of Jiuzheng Home believes that it is also possible to install a set of iron flower railings in the living room and an iron swing full of flowers on the balcony, which can break the traditional monotonous layout form and enrich the spatial hierarchy. Below, we will briefly analyze the maintenance techniques of iron furniture.
Clean dust removal.
It is best to use pure cotton knitted fabric as a cloth to wipe the surface of iron furniture. It is best to use a soft wool brush to remove dust from dents on furniture and embossed decorations.
Stay away from sunlight.
It is best to avoid direct sunlight outside the window when placing furniture. Iron furniture that is exposed to sunlight for a long time can cause discoloration of the paint; The colored paint layer is dry, cracked and peeled off, and the metal undergoes oxidation and deterioration. If you encounter strong sunlight and cannot move furniture, you can use curtains or blinds to block it.
Avoid collisions.
This is the first thing to pay attention to after purchasing ironwork furniture, and furniture should be handled with care during transportation; The place where ironworks are placed should be a place where hard objects are not frequently touched; Once a place is selected, it should not change frequently; The ground on which iron furniture is placed should also be kept flat, so that the four legs of the furniture are stable and flat on the ground. If shaken unstable, it will cause slight deformation of the iron furniture over time, affecting its service life.
Isolate from dampness.
The indoor humidity should be maintained within normal values. Furniture should be kept away from humidifiers, as dampness can cause metal to rust, chrome plating to peel off, and so on. When cleaning furniture, avoid using hot water to clean the furniture. You can use a damp cloth to wipe it, but do not rinse it with running water.
Stay away from acidity and alkalinity.
Acids and alkalis that have a corrosive effect on iron are the number one killers of ironwork furniture. If any acid (such as sulfuric acid, vinegar) or alkali (such as methylamine, soapy water, or soda water) accidentally gets on ironwork furniture, it should be immediately rinsed off with clean water and wiped dry with a dry cotton cloth.
Eliminate rust.
If furniture rusts, don’t take it upon yourself to use sandpaper to polish it. For areas with small and shallow rust, cotton yarn dipped in engine oil can be applied to the rust area. After a while, wipe with a cloth to eliminate the rust. If the rust has expanded and become heavier, relevant technical personnel should be invited to repair it.
