Picked up an old metal filing cabinet from a thrift store and it’s kinda grimy… How to clean an old filing cabinet?
To clean an old filing cabinet, start by removing all the drawers and clearing out dust and debris inside. You can use a vacuum or a dry cloth to clean the corners first.
For a metal filing cabinet, wipe the surface with warm water and a mild detergent.
For tougher stains, gently scrub with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately to prevent rust.
If there is any rust, you can treat it with vinegar or a rust remover and then gently wipe it away.
For a wooden filing cabinet, avoid using too much water and instead use a slightly damp cloth with a wood cleaner.
Finally, let it air dry completely. If needed, place moisture absorbers or deodorizer packets inside the drawers to prevent humidity and odors from returning.
