  • 1.  Foldable Wire Crates

    Posted 07-02-2019 04:32 PM

    We frequently use these black collapsible wire crates with plastic pans in our shelter and foster homes. I wondered if I could get cleaning tips for both, the wire, and the plastic pan. Several of the bottom pans look terrible after years of use. I have tried different soaps and cleaners, brush and scotch brite with no good results. They still look dirty.

    Once the plastic pans are clean and dry, you can spray them with a spray can of "FOR PLASTIC"paint. Works well, lasts wells. Lay a tarp down, outside, no wind. Wear a mask. I've used this: 

    Rust-Oleum® Paint For Plastic renews and revitalizes indoor and outdoor plastics with no primer needed. For use on: Automotive plastics, polypropylene, polystyrene, resin, PVC, fiberglass, and vinyl plastics such as chairs, tables and planters. Renews & Restores Plastic   Indoor/Outdoor Use   Any-Angle Spray with Comfort Tip    For Best Results Spray two or more light coats a few minutes apart.
