How to prevent the paint of wooden stairs from being worn off?

Solid wood floors and wooden stairs are all made of wood, which is easy to get wet and deteriorate. In contrast, wooden stairs are more exposed to air and are more susceptible to moisture, so the maintenance of stairs is not easier than the maintenance of floors.

Part 1: Stairs shall be moistureproof.

Dampproof of stairs is an important part of stair maintenance. Whether wooden stairs or metal stairs, pedals, handrails, accessories and other positions need to be moisture-proof. If the moisture-proof work is not done well, not only the wood is easy to get moldy, but also the metal fittings will rust, thus affecting the overall structure and function of the stairs.

Common situation: the stairs are wet and the boards are deformed.

Stairs are affected with moisture, especially wooden stairs are more susceptible to moisture in humid environment, which leads to deformation, cracking, corner warping and paint loss of wooden components of stairs. Therefore, stair wood products must take moisture-proof measures.

Countermeasures: It is necessary to draw often.

In a humid environment, places where people often come into contact with pedals, handrails, etc., are more prone to mildew and softening than other places of wooden stairs. Therefore, a layer of cured wear-resistant paint can be coated on the pedals, handrails and other parts. So as to reduce the damage degree of local wear and tear, and at the same time reduce the humidity degree of stairs in wet environment. At the same time, if the stairs are accidentally wet, they should be dried immediately to prevent water from infiltrating into the board.

Maintenance skill: Choose the cleaning method carefully.

In daily life, never use a lot of water to scrub the stairs. Some people feel afraid that the stairs are easy to get dirty, so they often scrub the stairs with water, which makes them wet. It is generally recommended to clean once a week. Just clean the dust interface on the surface with a clean broom. If there is a stain, spray it with detergent and then scrub it with a soft cloth.

In wet weather, some absorbent, charcoal and other water-absorbing items can be placed around the wooden stairs to help reduce the humidity of the wooden stairs. In addition, when cleaning stairs in wet weather, you can use a vacuum cleaner to clean them. When water drops are found on the surfaces of pedals and handrails, dry them with a dry cloth.

Part II: Wooden stairs must be moth-proof and safe to use.

In wet weather, wooden stairs are prone to moth-eaten problems. When choosing wooden stairs at home, we must pay more attention to insect prevention. We shouldn't solve the problem of serious moth-eaten or even affecting the structure. We must nip in the bud.

Common situation: wood is eaten by insects.

Worm eyes of pinhole size may appear after wooden stairs are used for a certain period of time. And after a long time, there will be new bug eyes, accompanied by sawdust floating out of the bug eyes to drill the bugs. These conditions show that the stairs have been eaten by insects. If you don't pay more attention, the whole staircase structure may be eaten by insects, which may cause danger.

Countermeasures: camphor pepper is very useful

If you find bug eyes on the stairs, you can grind them into powder with camphor or pepper and scatter them near the bug eyes to avoid new bug eyes. Or you can choose a professional insect repellent and sprinkle it on the hidden position of the stairs, which can prevent the stairs from being eaten by insects more effectively.

Maintenance skills: ventilation and drying are the key.

In order to better prevent the stairs from being eaten by insects, it is generally an effective method to brush a layer of moth-proof paint when installing wooden stairs. In addition, when maintaining the stairs at ordinary times, besides the necessary cleaning, we should also pay attention to the ventilation and dryness of the living room, so that the stairs can "breathe" more fresh air, so as to effectively prevent the stairs from being eaten by insects.

Near spring, in wet weather or insect breeding season, you can spray some pesticides on the stairs, or place some mothballs at the corner of the stairs, which can effectively prevent insects from breeding in wooden stairs.

Part III: Stairs should also be protected from wear and bright appearance.

Compared with other parts, pedals, handrails and other parts that are often in contact with people are easy to wear. In order to avoid serious local wear of wooden pedals after a period of use, anti-wear measures should be paid more attention to in these parts.

Common situation: damaged pedals and handrails.

The pedals and handrails of wooden stairs often come into contact with people. Because of frequent contact, wear is inevitable, so their life is shorter than other parts of stairs. If it is not maintained, it may cause irreparable losses.

Countermeasures: Waxing maintenance is the most important.

For handrails, pedals and other parts, special wax or floor wax should be coated regularly for protection. In addition, although the paint surface of some pedals is light-cured wear-resistant paint, the wear resistance is relative and has a certain service life, so you must pay attention to the wear degree of pedals. Generally, do not wear high heels to take the stairs, and choose soft slippers, which can effectively avoid wear and tear.

Maintenance tips: protect the carpet.

In order to avoid serious local wear of the wooden skirting board after a period of use, a carpet can be laid on the central step of the stair corridor. This not only protects the stairs, but also embellishes the whole space to some extent.

Wooden stairs are exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, or the indoor temperature rises and falls sharply. It may lead to premature aging of pedal paint. Therefore, maintaining indoor temperature and humidity is a necessary measure to protect stairs.

Part IV: Accessories rust-proof small movable stairs are durable.

During the installation of steel and wood stairs, although engineers have closely connected them into a whole, the corrosion of metal fittings is the most troublesome problem. If it is less, it will affect the appearance, and if it is heavy, it may cause serious problems such as the collapse of stairs! So we must pay more attention to it.

Common situation: metal fittings rust.

Wooden stairs are also made up of some metal fittings, which will inevitably rust. Metal fittings usually play an important role in the reinforcement of stairs, so if metal fittings rust, they must be solved in time, otherwise serious structural problems will occur.

Countermeasures: white vinegar mixed with water is wiped clean.

Because rust is an oxide of metal, it can react with acid and is basically soluble in acid. Therefore, metal rust can generally be wiped with household white vinegar and water, but be careful not to be too acidic, otherwise it will corrode the metal and affect the structure of the metal fittings themselves.

Maintenance skills: moistureproof is the most important

The best way to reduce the rust of metal fittings is to do a good job of moisture-proof of steel and wood stairs. All parts of the steel and wood stairs are closely connected to form a whole. "Pull one hair and move the whole body", so in order to avoid the rust of metal fittings, measures must be taken to prevent the stairs from getting wet.

Metal stairs also have wooden materials, and the metal will rust when it is wet. It is best not to wash it with a lot of water when cleaning. It is suggested to spray detergent on the surface of stairs and then wipe it with a soft cloth.
