How to maintain plastic furniture: Correct maintenance methods for school plastic tables, chairs, and bookshelves to avoid aging and deformation

Plastic furniture is widely used in various places in schools, especially in classrooms, canteens, activity rooms and other areas because of its low price, light weight and easy cleaning. Plastic tables, chairs, bookshelves and other furniture have a certain degree of durability, but without proper maintenance, plastic furniture is easily affected by factors such as ultraviolet radiation and temperature changes, leading to aging, discoloration, brittleness, and even deformation. Therefore, schools need to take effective measures to ensure the long-term use of plastic furniture.

First of all, plastic furniture is most afraid of being exposed to strong sunlight. UV rays accelerate the aging process of plastic, causing it to become brittle, lose its luster, and gradually fade. To avoid this, schools should avoid placing plastic furniture directly in the sun, especially strong afternoon sunlight. If conditions permit, you can control sunlight exposure and reduce the impact of ultraviolet rays by setting up curtains or blinds.

Secondly, plastic furniture should avoid contact with high-temperature items. Although plastic furniture has strong resistance to high temperatures, it is still easy to deform or soften if it is exposed to high-temperature items for a long time. Therefore, schools should avoid placing hot items directly on plastic tables, chairs or bookshelves during use, especially in areas such as restaurants or laboratories, and should be particularly careful.

When cleaning plastic furniture, you should also avoid using too strong cleaning agents, especially chemicals containing solvents or strong acids and alkalis, as these cleaning agents may damage the plastic surface and cause it to age or fade. It is recommended to use mild neutral detergent and soft cloth to wipe to keep the furniture tidy.

In addition, regularly check the connecting parts of plastic furniture to make sure there are no loose or cracked parts. If the furniture is found to be cracked or damaged, it should be repaired or replaced in time to avoid affecting its safety.

Finally, plastic furniture should also be stored so that it is not subject to heavy pressure for long periods of time. Too many items stacked on plastic furniture can easily cause deformation or breakage. Therefore, be sure to bear a reasonable load when using it and avoid overloading.

With reasonable daily maintenance, plastic furniture can maintain a long service life, avoid problems such as aging and deformation, and ensure the cleanliness and safety of the school environment.
