How Do You Clean a Pole?
My pole is getting taken down tomorrow for the first time in 3 years. It needs to be leveled. What else should I do while it is down?? It is an old top loading xpole. Thanks!!

I just clean all my poles with rubbing alcohol. I don't think it's good to use windex on your poles (especially plated or powder coated poles.) It can be pretty harsh.
-
I have heard of people taking them down to clean and assumed I would need to take it apart. I just have never done this and not sure what to do. I have heard people take them down and oil them too like every month but mine has never been down.
-
I use alcohol on mine too for every day use. I like it better than windex.
-
Is it a multipiece??? I've never taken my poles down to clean them, just to give my ceiling a break.
-
Yes. Poles are multi piece and should be tKen down once a month and cleaned. I just dint know specifics on it.
-
Not sure if something like this has already been done, but there should be an official guide (or sticky post) for pole maintenance! We've all spent good money for our poles and should know how to care for them properly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

alcohol huh, i will hav to try it, ive been using windex, man i love this site lol

I know alcohol is great for slicker poles like ss and chrome. I wonder if it would chip the powder coated though?? I know acitome polish remover us an all time fab for slick poles but on powder coated it removes the coating!!!

My new pic makes me want a pink pole for real. Lol!!!!
-
hmmm maybe i shud stick with windex then… thats what it says in my booklet. n ya i like pink poles! lol

There is NOTHING that will remove a powder coating. The process is similar to car paint. I used acetone on mine to get black scuff marks off it all the time.
Luvlee…when you take it down, clean the threads and then I would suggest using a silicone grease or antiseize grease on the threads before putting it back up. If it has not been taken apart you may have issues getting it apart and may have to purchase the heavy duty release tools:
