1、 Classification cleaning, targeted treatment
Different types of storage boxes have different materials, and the cleaning methods should also be different:
Plastic storage box: Plastic storage boxes are lightweight and durable, but may leave stains or turn yellow after long-term use. You can use a damp cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of neutral detergent to gently wipe, avoiding the use of highly corrosive cleaning agents or hard objects to scrape and prevent surface damage. After cleaning, wipe dry with a clean damp cloth and let it air dry naturally in a well ventilated area.
Fabric storage box: The fabric storage box is warm and soft, suitable for storing clothes or soft items. When cleaning, it is necessary to choose hand washing or machine washing according to the instructions on the fabric label. It is generally recommended to use mild detergents to avoid prolonged soaking and high temperature drying, in order to maintain the color and elasticity of the fabric.
Paper storage box: Paper storage boxes are lightweight and environmentally friendly, but have poor waterproof properties. If accidentally dirtied, it should be gently wiped with a clean damp cloth as soon as possible to avoid excessive moisture and prevent deformation. At the same time, direct sunlight and humid environments should be avoided during storage to prevent paper aging.
Wooden storage box: Wooden storage boxes are naturally elegant, but attention should be paid to moisture and insect prevention. When cleaning, a soft dry cloth can be used to gently brush off surface dust. If necessary, a small amount of specialized wood maintenance oil can be used for care to enhance its glossiness and moisture resistance.
2、 Daily maintenance to extend lifespan
In addition to regular cleaning, daily maintenance is equally important:
Regular organization: Regularly check the items inside the storage box, dispose of items that are no longer needed in a timely manner, and avoid long-term accumulation that may cause the storage box to bear too much weight and deform.
Reasonable placement: According to the size and load-bearing capacity of the storage box, arrange the placement position reasonably and avoid placing it in damp, direct sunlight or places with large temperature changes.
Dustproof and moisture-proof: Covering infrequently used storage boxes with dust covers can effectively prevent dust accumulation. For storage boxes that are prone to moisture, desiccants can be placed inside to keep the internal environment dry.
Handle with care: Avoid violent handling or dropping of the storage box during use to avoid damaging its structure or affecting its sealing performance.
