Towel rack selection tips - How to prevent the towel rack from rusting?
Tips for purchasing towel racks
1. First look at the quality
Among the towel racks of many materials, generally speaking, the towel rack with all copper is the best, followed by the towel rack of aluminum alloy; the towel rack of stainless steel is the towel rack, and the last is the towel rack of zinc alloy. The specific quality of towel racks to choose can be considered comprehensively based on the individual economic situation and grade.
2. Look carefully at the smoothness of the towel rack. Before installation, you can pinch one end of the hanging rod of the towel with one hand and wipe it from one end to the other with the other hand. Small burrs will be felt, and even peeled paint sheets will be peeled. These disadvantages are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Also pay attention to the electroplating and coating quality of each rack base. The viewing angle and incident light are both 70° it is easier to detect any defects when left and right.
3. The moisture-proof function can be seen. The towel rack is in a humid environment for a long time and is prone to rust. Therefore, a towel rack with moisture-proof function has emerged. Therefore, we can choose based on the moisture-proof ability, fully consider the material of the towel hanging, which determines the moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant functions of the towel rack, and thus make a choice.
For example: pure aluminum products with alumina towel rack have poor hardness and will turn black, but the hardness of the alumina products after oxidation has been greatly improved, and will not turn black. They have good wear resistance and will not rust. For example, low-grade stainless steel towel racks will not rust. The higher the chromium content of stainless steel, the less likely it is to rust. 304 stainless steel has 16% chromium content, good stability, strong corrosion resistance, and will not rust even if it is placed in a humid environment for a long time.

3. When using it, the towel is not wrung out or the residual moisture on the towel rack is not wiped, resulting in the scale remaining on the surface of the towel rack. Long-term contact will cause spot-like black spots to appear on the surface of the towel rack, which will lead to rust.
