The claw hammer has been used for a long time, and there may be more oil stains on the wooden handle. This needs to be cleaned up in time, so how should it be cleaned up?


When cleaning, you can wipe the cloth with an appropriate amount of soapy water. Soapy water can break down the oil on the wooden handle of the claw hammer, because the main components of oil are proteins, fats, etc. The main components of soapy water are triglycerides, substances that break down oils and fats into small molecules and then dissolve them in them. After soaking in soapy water for a while, wipe with a cloth dipped in appropriate amount of water, but be careful not to use too much water, otherwise the wooden handle will be soaked. If you want to improve the stain resistance of the wooden handle of the claw hammer, you can apply a moderate amount of paint to the wooden handle, but only in a thin layer.


After the wooden handle of the claw hammer is cleaned, an appropriate amount of paint should be applied to the surface of the claw hammer to form a protective layer, which is conducive to later use.
