Use and Care Manual
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.
