To maintain and extend the service life of a stainless steel manual trolley, follow these key practices:

1. Regular Cleaning

Avoid Abrasive Tools: Use soft, non-abrasive cloths or sponges to prevent scratching. For stubborn stains, apply a mild detergent or specialized stainless steel cleaner.

Remove Residue: Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to avoid soap buildup, which can cause discoloration or corrosion over time.

2. Prevent Rust and Corrosion

Dry Immediately: Wipe down the trolley with a dry cloth after use, especially in humid or wet environments, to prevent moisture-induced rust.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the stainless steel’s protective layer.

Protective Coating: Consider applying a thin layer of stainless steel polish or oil periodically to create a barrier against moisture and contaminants.

3. Handle Components with Care

Lubricate Moving Parts: Regularly lubricate wheels, axles, and hinges with a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

Check for Loose Parts: Tighten screws, nuts, and bolts as needed to maintain structural integrity and prevent instability.

4. Prevent Physical Damage

Avoid Impacts: Handle the trolley gently to avoid dents or bends, which can compromise its appearance and functionality.

Store Properly: When not in use, store the trolley in a dry, sheltered area to shield it from environmental elements.

5. Address Rust Promptly

Immediate Action: If rust appears, clean the affected area with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.

Prevent Recurrence: Dry the area and apply a protective coating to inhibit future rust formation.

6. Regular Inspections

Check for Wear: Periodically inspect wheels, handles, and joints for signs of damage or wear. Replace worn components promptly to avoid further issues.

Verify Load Capacity: Ensure the trolley is not overloaded, as this can strain the structure and reduce its lifespan.

7. Use Appropriate Cleaning Agents

Neutral pH Cleaners: Opt for pH-neutral or mild alkaline cleaners to avoid damaging the stainless steel’s surface.

Test New Products: Before using a new cleaner, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility.

8. Avoid Contact with Corrosive Substances

Isolate from Chemicals: Keep the trolley away from salt, acids, or other corrosive materials that can accelerate deterioration.
