In the previous article, we discussed the cleaning methods of display cabinets. Now, let's discuss the precautions to take during the cleaning process.
Use Material Selection
When wiping the display case, do not use coarse cloth or old clothes that you no longer wear as a cloth.
It is best to use a towel, cotton cloth, cotton fabric or flannel cloth with good water absorption to wipe the display cabinet. Coarse cloth, cloth with thread, or old clothes with seams or buttons that may scratch the surface of the display cabinet should be avoided as far as possible.
Avoid wiping with a cloth
Do not wipe the dust on the surface of the display cabinet with a dry cloth
Dust consists of fibers, sand, and silica particles. Many people habitually use dry cloths to clean display cabinets. However, these microscopic particles gradually damage the paint surface through repeated friction during wiping. Although the scratches are so fine they're invisible to the naked eye, over time they cause the cabinet surface to become dull and rough, losing its original shine.
usage method
Do not clean the display cabinet with soapy water, dishwashing detergent, or plain water.
Cleaning products such as soapy water and dishwashing detergent can not only effectively remove the dust accumulated on the surface of the display cabinet, but also remove the silicon sand particles before lighting. In addition, because they are corrosive to a certain extent, they will damage the surface of the display cabinet and make the paint of the display cabinet dull and matte.
Moisture infiltration into wood can cause mold growth or localized deformation, significantly reducing the material's lifespan. Since 2012, most display cabinets have been manufactured using fiberboard pressed with machinery. While moisture penetration may not trigger mold in the first two years as formaldehyde and other additives haven't fully evaporated, the lingering moisture from damp cloths can cause mold once these chemicals are released. For households on lower floors, this means display cabinets might develop mold every year during the rainy season.
Please note that even if some display cabinets have piano lacquer coating on their surfaces, which can be cleaned with water, avoid leaving wet cloths on the cabinet surfaces for extended periods to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood.
How to spray care spray
Display case wax spray is not suitable for cleaning or maintaining leather sofas.
Many care instructions for display cabinet wax sprays claim they can maintain leather sofas, leading many homemakers to make mistakes. Store clerks know full well that these wax sprays are only for wooden surfaces, not leather furniture. This is because genuine leather sofas are essentially animal hides. Applying wax to leather blocks pores, causing the material to age and shorten its lifespan over time. Worse still, some people who want their cabinets to look shinier might apply wax products directly or use them improperly, which actually creates a foggy, speckled finish on the cabinets.
Therefore, there are many ways to maintain the display cabinet. It should be maintained according to the material of the display cabinet. The most appropriate method is the best method.
