How do you clean and maintain a steel flat file cabinet?

Steel flat file cabinet maintenance is straightforward: (1) Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap solution — avoid abrasive cleaners that scratch the powder coat finish. (2) Clean drawer interiors periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove paper dust and debris that can accumulate. (3) Check drawer slides annually and apply a small amount of dry lubricant (PTFE spray) to keep them operating smoothly. (4) Inspect the locking mechanism periodically and apply a small amount of graphite powder (not oil-based lubricants) to key cylinders if they become stiff. (5) Touch up any chips in the powder coat with matching appliance touch-up paint to prevent rust. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for maintenance product recommendations.
