How To Maintain Steel Bollards

bollards as a component in their landscaping and design. Stainless steel has become a popular material to create a striking bollard that looks great in all types of settings. However, in order to keep this type of bollard looking fantastic, it will require a little care and maintenance.
The Importance of Proper Care:
While stainless steel bollards are very durable, improper care can diminish the anti corrosion properties, which will cause surface damage. You should avoid using chloride based cleaning products or other abrasive materials when caring for steel bollards. If you are power washing any areas near the bollards, you should ensure that the stainless steel is protected to avoid contact with any concrete detergents or debris.
General Cleaning:
For basic cleaning, warm soapy water is usually all you will need to maintain the appearance of the stainless steel. You should use a soft brush to remove any dirt that may have accumulated on the surface. Wash the bollard using a mild detergent or soap before rinsing with clean water. Use a soft cloth to wipe the bollard dry to avoid spotting.
Repairing ...
... Corrosion Damage:
Generally, stainless steel should not corrode, so if any signs of corrosion have appeared, it needs to be cleaned immediately. Minor corrosion can usually be dealt with using an all purpose lubricant. Wipe down the affected area and monitor to see if the rust returns. More moderate corrosion should be cleaned with a phosphoric acid based cleaner. This should be spread over the affected area. Wait for approximately thirty minutes before neutralising the acid with an alkaline cleaner. Rinse away any residue using clean water.
Severe corrosion can be more difficult to treat since rust treatments are often highly corrosive. If the bollard has become severely corroded, it is a good idea to seek professional assistance. Severe rust may require treatment using a pickling bath which is highly corrosive and needs to be handled with caution.
Graffiti Removal:
If your bollard has been affected by graffiti, it can be restored by using a biodegradable graffiti cleaning wipe or spray. You should avoid using any hard tools to scrape the graffiti as this is likely to damage the stainless steel surface.
