For a long time usage, there will be dust and some oil stains. Therefore, we need to clean the products regularly. In the face of oil stains that cannot be wiped clean, special cleaning agents should be used. In addition to clean, it is also necessary to apply lubricating oil regularly to reduce friction during operation.
We must first check if any damage of the polyester sling during the application process before store the sling. If the sling is contaminated by acid and alkali, it needs to be diluted or neutralized with water. If the sling becomes wet during the application Since it becomes damp after cleaning, it needs to be hung up for natural drying.
