Metal tracks in elevators, sliding doors, and windows are exposed to constant use, dust, and moisture. Over time, they lose their shine, accumulate dirt, or even develop oxidation. In luxury properties, where every detail matters, damaged or dull tracks can affect both appearance and functionality.
If you’ve noticed scratches, corrosion, or buildup in your tracks, here’s what you need to know and how 305 Janitorial Services can restore them to like new condition.
Why Metal Tracks Lose Their Shine?
Several factors contribute to the deterioration of metal tracks:
- Dust and debris accumulation that creates friction and scratches.
- Moisture and humidity, leading to oxidation or corrosion.
- Harsh cleaning chemicals that strip protective layers.
- Constant foot or wheel traffic in elevators, which dulls and damages the surface.
Unlike standard cleaning, track restoration requires specialized equipment and products to safely remove buildup and bring back the metal’s original luster.
What You Can Try at Property
If the tracks only have light dirt or dullness, you can attempt basic maintenance:
- Vacuum and brush: Remove loose dust and particles from the grooves.
- Mild detergent with warm water: Gently scrub the tracks with a soft brush.
- Baking soda paste: For minor oxidation, apply a paste of baking soda and water, then wipe clean.
- Microfiber polish: Buff the surface with a clean microfiber cloth to add temporary shine.
Avoid using steel wool or acidic cleaners at home these can scratch the surface or worsen corrosion.
Professional Track Restoration Process
For deep restoration, professionals use a combination of mechanical polishing and specialized products:
- Detail cleaning with precision tools to remove dirt embedded in corners.
- Oxidation removal with safe, non acidic compounds.
- Buffing and polishing using professional machines with graded pads (from fine grit to wool).
- Protective treatment with sealers or crystallization methods to prevent future damage.
