Gardening tools are simple and convenient to use, bringing a lot of convenience to people's lives. Therefore, the maintenance of gardening tools has become increasingly important. When using them, attention should be paid to the way and method. After use, the outside should be cleaned, especially the parts that are prone to rust, and then dried and stored in a dry and ventilated place.
We all know that chemical agents with acidity or alkalinity have a corrosive effect on iron. Gardening tools should be kept away from acidic or alkaline substances. If they accidentally come into contact with acidic or alkaline products, they should be washed clean with water in a timely manner and then wiped dry with a cotton cloth. Long term sun exposure can also cause the surface paint of gardening tools to change color or peel off, and the metal inside to oxidize and deteriorate. Therefore, they should not be placed in direct sunlight for a long time.
Gardening tools are prone to metal corrosion and coating peeling in humid environments, so they should be placed in a dry location. If you want to clean gardening tools, remember not to use boiling water or running water, just wipe them clean with a damp cloth. If rust occurs due to improper storage, do not immediately sand it with sandpaper. For small areas, use a cotton cloth dipped in engine oil to clean them. If the rust is large, try to hire professional technicians to handle it, so as to prolong the service life of gardening tools.
