Purchase knowledge of towel hanging
Whether it is a large or small bathroom, towel hanging will always be missing in each bathroom. As a must-have in the bathroom, the towel hanging looks changeable and distinctive, which can meet the needs of different bathrooms.
Generally speaking, all copper towel racks are the best, followed by aluminum alloy towel racks; secondly, stainless steel towel racks, and finally zinc alloy towel racks.
In humid bathroom environments, the moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant functions of towel racks are particularly important. When purchasing, we should fully consider the material of the towel hanging and make a choice.
The copper chrome-plated towel rack copper is green, which is what people often call "paregreen". “Aeruginosa” is copper oxide produced by the chemical reaction between copper and oxygen. In order to prevent copper and oxygen from contacting, a layer of metal chromium is plated on its surface. The chromium has very good stability, is wear-resistant, and has a bright color, which is very beautiful. The copper towel rack after electroplating cannot contact with the air and will not grow “ patina ” But there will also be rust. For example: 1. The towel rack coating is not well protected, resulting in damage to the coating, brass and air contact, and “ "paregreen" may grow in a humid environment. 2. It is not wiped frequently. Over time, some water dregs form dirt on the surface, and eventually appear spot-like black spots. 3. The water quality is poor and contains metal ions. In addition, there is no regular wipe or some sanitary dead corners. These water droplets rich in metal ions interact with the air. Over time, rust spots may occur.
Alumina towel rack pure aluminum products have poor hardness and will turn black, but the hardness of the alumina products after oxidation has been greatly improved, and will not turn black. They have good wear resistance and will not rust.
Stainless steel towel racks low-grade stainless steel will rust. The higher the chromium content of stainless steel, the less likely it is to rust. 304 stainless steel has 16% chromium content, good stability, strong corrosion resistance, and will not rust even if it is placed in a humid environment for a long time.
Zinc alloy towel rack Zinc alloy towels will not rust. However, the quality is not as good as other materials and is easy to break.
We have learned about some reasons for rust on towel racks. Therefore, in response to these situations that may cause rust, we must comprehensively consider various factors when choosing a towel rack to avoid possible after-sales issues.
Towel hanging sizes generally include 50CM, 60CM, 70CM, 80CM, etc. The corresponding size can be selected according to the bathroom size. When purchasing, it is easy to distinguish between stainless steel and aluminum alloy materials according to the color, but you need to master certain methods to distinguish between chrome-plated all copper or copper-zinc alloys:
When you look at it, if you want to use towels for a long time, you should first check whether the coating is good. Generally speaking, the brighter and more delicate the surface, the more obvious the mirror effect is, and the better the coating process is processed.
Second listening, listen to the sales staff's introduction, mainly the introduction to the plating. A good towel hanging not only undergoes preliminary polishing, polishing, and dust removal, but also has up to six or seven layers of nickel and chrome plating. The more plating layers, the better the quality.
Three-holding, you can use the method of holding to see the quality of the material. Some merchants will use cast iron material to pretend to be all copper or copper-zinc alloy hardware, hold the towel in hand and then release it after two or three seconds. The fog and traces disappear quickly can basically be determined to be copper. If the fog and traces do not dissipate for a long time, the material is very likely not copper.
Before installation, you can pinch one end of the hanging rod of the towel with one hand and wipe it from one end to the other with the other hand. Small burrs will be felt and even peeled lacquer sheets will be peeled. These disadvantages are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Also pay attention to the electroplating and coating quality of each rack base. The viewing angle and incident light are both 70° it is easier to detect any defects when left and right.
Wait hang maintenance
1. We must develop the habit of opening doors and windows frequently, so that we can not only keep the air in the bathroom unobstructed, but also help our family to be healthy and absorb more fresh air.
2. If we want to decorate, we must not let the paint stick to the towel hanging, because the paint has a great corrosion effect on the coating on the surface of the towel hanging. There are many cleaners with frequent changes in formulas on the market now. We recommend that you not buy them, as they may also cause serious damage to towel hangings. Many bleaches, detergents, and vinegar contain a lot of acidic substances, which have a strong corrosive effect. It is recommended not to use them.
3. The surface of the towel hanging should be wiped with a soft cotton cloth and clean water to ensure a bright luster. You must never use corrosive acid and alkali solution, and try not to use dishwashing liquid.
Cleaning of towel hanging
1. Due to the long-term residual chrome-plated surfaces such as various washes, shower gels, etc. used in normal use, the gloss of the towel hanging will deteriorate and directly affect the surface quality. Please clean the surface of the towel hanging with a soft cloth at least once a week, preferably with a neutral detergent.
2. Scrub the towel hanging with clean water and wipe it dry with a soft cotton cloth. Do not use any abrasive detergent, cloth or tissue, or any acidic detergent, polishing abrasives or detergent or soap to wipe the surface of the towel hanging.
3. You can use a pure cotton wet rag coated with toothpaste and soap, wipe it gently, and then wash it with clean water.
4. For difficult-to-remove stubborn stains, surface stains, and stains, please use gentle liquid cleaners, colorless glass cleaning liquid or polishing liquid without wear, then wash the towel with clean water and wipe dry with soft cotton cloth..
5. You can use wax oil with strong detergent ability to apply it on a clean white cotton cloth to thoroughly clean the entire product. The cycle is generally 3 months, which can extend the life of the towel hanging. Remember to wipe the water stains dry every time you finish cleaning, otherwise water stains and dirt may appear on the surface of the pendant.
