Mailbox care & maintenance of your mailbox
Many mailbox installations are in areas that expose the
mailbox to road salt from snow/ice removal this can be
very damaging to the painted metal surface. Also
locations near the ocean expose the surface to salt air
which is highly corrosive. Pollution from automobiles,
acid rain, and polluted air in general will also damage the
painted surface. A periodic cleaning of the painted
surface of your mailbox with a mild detergent, water and
soft brush will help keep your mailbox lasting for many
years. In addition a clear spray (no buff) car wax can help
protect the painted finish. This process is recommended
2-3 times a year if possible. This quick maintenance will
help your mailbox last for many years to come.
