Among various types of furniture in schools, metal furniture such as steel desks and chairs, bookshelves, file cabinets, etc. are widely used in teaching buildings, offices and public areas due to their durability and strong load-bearing capacity. Metal furniture has a long service life, but if it is not properly maintained, especially in humid or corrosive environments, the metal parts are prone to rust and corrosion, affecting the service life and appearance of the furniture. Therefore, schools need to take effective anti-rust and anti-corrosion measures to ensure the long-term durability of metal furniture.
First, schools should avoid prolonged exposure of metal furniture to moisture. Moisture is one of the main factors causing metal corrosion. Especially in rainy seasons or seasons with high humidity, metal furniture should be wiped dry regularly to keep it dry. In addition, ensure that the classroom or office area is well ventilated to avoid excessive moisture in the air and reduce the risk of furniture corrosion.
Secondly, check the surface of metal furniture regularly. If rust or corrosion is found, deal with it in time. For metal furniture with rust spots on the surface, you can use sandpaper or a wire brush to remove the rust spots and apply anti-rust paint to avoid further development of corrosion. If the coating of metal furniture is damaged, it should be repaired or repainted immediately to prevent the metal surface from being directly exposed to the air, causing oxidation and corrosion.
The connection parts of metal furniture are also key maintenance objects. Furniture screws, nuts and other parts may become loose or rusted after long-term use. Schools should regularly inspect these components to ensure their tightness and stability. Parts that are rusty or loose should be replaced or reinforced in time.
Finally, cleaning metal furniture also requires special attention. When cleaning, avoid using strong acid or alkaline cleaners as these substances may damage the protective layer on the metal surface. It is recommended to use a neutral detergent and a soft cloth to gently wipe the metal surface to keep it clean and bright.
In short, the maintenance of metal furniture is not just a matter of cleaning. Anti-rust and anti-corrosion are the keys to extending its service life. Schools should regularly check the condition of metal furniture and take appropriate protective measures to ensure that the furniture is always in good condition.
