Combining the years of industry experience and product characteristics of Wenzhou Zhenghan Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., specific measures can be taken from daily use and maintenance, cleaning and maintenance, storage and maintenance, special scene protection, etc.:

（1） Daily use and maintenance to avoid human damage

When using stainless steel accessories in daily life, it is necessary to avoid human damage and build a solid foundation for use. When handling and installing, handle with care to avoid severe collisions and drops, and prevent scratches, deformations, and fractures on the surface of accessories, especially for accessories with polishing and drawing processes, to avoid damage to the surface gloss caused by collisions; During installation, strictly follow the specifications to avoid excessive tightening and prevent problems such as thread slippage and breakage caused by excessive force on accessories. For movable accessories such as hinges and slides, avoid forcibly pulling or pressing to prevent component damage. At the same time, avoid placing stainless steel fittings in high temperature, high humidity, strong acid and alkali environments for a long time. High temperature can cause oxidation and discoloration of the surface of the fittings, and strong acid and alkali can damage the surface oxidation protective film, leading to corrosion and rust. Especially, avoid pouring salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings directly on the surface of the fittings. In case of accidental occurrence, wipe them clean immediately. Wenzhou Zhenghan Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. reminds that correct installation and daily use can effectively extend the service life of stainless steel accessories and maximize their performance.

（2） Cleaning and maintenance to maintain surface cleanliness and stable performance

Regularly cleaning stainless steel accessories can not only maintain a clean and beautiful surface, but also avoid the accumulation of stains and damage to the surface oxidation protective film. The cleaning methods for accessories in different scenarios and processes vary, and targeted operations are required. The principle of "dry first, wet later" should be prioritized for daily cleaning. First, use a microfiber dry towel to gently wipe the surface dust, then use a wet towel dipped in neutral cleaning agents (such as dishwashing detergent) to wipe. After wiping, use a dry towel to wipe dry in a timely manner to avoid water residue and water marks. Pay attention to three "absolutely not": never use strong acid and alkali cleaning agents (such as toilet cleaner, bleach) to avoid corroding the surface; Never use hard cleaning tools (such as steel wire balls, hard brushes) to prevent scratching the surface protective film; Resolutely avoid residual water accumulation and prevent water marks or rust spots from forming after water evaporation. For stubborn oil stains, stainless steel specific degreaser can be used, or a paste made of warm water and baking soda can be applied to the oil stains. After standing for 5 minutes, wipe along the texture, and then wipe clean and dry with water; For water stains and scale, you can use a diluted solution of white vinegar (white vinegar: water=1:3) to gently wipe them, and immediately polish them with a dry cloth after wiping. Wenzhou Zhenghan Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. suggests that food contact stainless steel accessories should be thoroughly dried after cleaning and regularly disinfected to ensure safe use.

（3） Storage and maintenance to avoid idle damage

For idle stainless steel accessories, they should be stored properly to avoid damage caused by improper storage. Before storage, the surface of the accessories should be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, stains, and moisture, and then dried before storage; Place the accessories in a dry, ventilated, and cool environment, with a temperature controlled between 10-25 ℃ and a relative humidity of 50% -70%. Avoid moisture, high temperatures, direct sunlight, and keep away from sources of fire and corrosive substances to prevent surface oxidation, corrosion, and rust of the accessories. When idle, a small amount of anti rust oil can be applied to the surface of the accessories (except for food contact scenarios) to form a protective film that isolates air and moisture; For small accessories such as bolts and nuts, they can be stored in sealed bags or boxes to avoid loss and oxidation; For large accessories, avoid stacking and storage to prevent compression deformation. Regularly check the condition of the accessories and wipe them every 1-2 months to ensure a clean and dry surface. Wenzhou Zhenghan Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. reminds that proper storage of idle stainless steel accessories can effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion, ensuring stable performance when reused.

（4） Special scenarios, targeted maintenance and protection

Stainless steel fittings used in special working conditions such as marine environments, chemical workshops, humid areas, and outdoor scenes require targeted maintenance measures to ensure their performance. In marine environments, salt spray has strong corrosiveness, and it is necessary to regularly rinse the surface of accessories with clean water to remove salt spray residue. Stainless steel special rust prevention and maintenance agent should be applied every six months to enhance corrosion resistance; In the chemical workshop, it is necessary to avoid contact between accessories and corrosive substances such as strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. Regularly inspect the surface condition of accessories and promptly deal with any corrosion marks found; In humid areas (such as the southern rainy season), strengthen ventilation and moisture-proof measures, regularly check for rust spots on accessories, promptly remove rust spots with stainless steel special cleaning paste, and then apply rust proof oil; In outdoor scenes, avoid exposing accessories to sunlight for a long time, regularly clean the surface of dust and residual rainwater, and prevent surface oxidation and discoloration. In addition, during the decoration and transportation stages, the original protective film of stainless steel accessories can be retained and peeled off after completion to avoid scratching the surface during the construction process. For special working conditions, Wenzhou Zhenghan Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. can provide customized stainless steel accessories and maintenance guidance to improve the service life of accessories in harsh environments.

（5） Maintenance of supporting components to ensure overall practicality

The supporting components of stainless steel fittings, such as sealing rings, screws, bearings, etc., need to be maintained synchronously to ensure overall practicality. Regularly check the condition of the matching sealing ring. If there is aging, damage, or deformation, replace it in a timely manner to avoid problems such as water leakage and air leakage caused by seal failure; Check the tightness of screws and bolts. If there is any looseness, tighten them in a timely manner to avoid accessory detachment; For movable accessories such as hinges and slides, regularly apply a small amount of lubricating oil to maintain smooth opening and closing, avoid jamming and wear, and extend the service life of movable parts; For stainless steel accessories used in food contact scenarios, they should be thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent the growth of bacteria due to residual moisture. Regular disinfection should be carried out to ensure safe use.
