Refurbishment tools are things we can see every day and are easy to prepare.
Mainly include: eraser, alcohol, rag, matte paper, etc.
(In addition, if disinfection and plastic packaging are needed, ozone sterilizer+plastic machine is needed. These two are a little more expensive, each of which is several thousand larger. )
Second, the decoration process
Step 1: Eraser cleaning
Use an eraser to remove stains from paper. In fact, many dirty things stuck to books can be wiped off with an eraser.
Step 2: Alcohol decontamination
Spray alcohol on the front and back of the book, and then wipe it with a rag to remove the stains that the eraser can't erase. At the same time, alcohol also has the function of disinfection.
Note here: Be sure to pay attention to the materials of the front cover and back cover of different books. Some books are not suitable for spraying liquids such as alcohol. You can't do that.
Step 3: Sandpaper grinding
Sandpaper can remove stubborn stains that eraser and alcohol can't remove, and at the same time, it can polish the yellow edge.
It should also be noted that sandpaper is of different thickness. Thick sandpaper is suitable for grinding three sides, and thin sandpaper is suitable for grinding stubborn stains in writing.
Step 4: Product classification.
This step is mainly what I need to open a bookstore. For completeness, I also wrote it down. )
The second-hand books I recycle will be classified according to the three categories of "brand-new, excellent and medium" when decorating, and then sold, and the sales discounts of different products are different.
Among the three major products, "brand-new, excellent" has no more detailed description, while "medium" has more detailed description, such as "slight wear, stains, yellowing, mildew, breakage, notes, creases" and so on. Users can clearly know the condition of this old book when they buy it.
Step 5: Ozone disinfection.
I bought a machine specially used for disinfection of books and files: a disinfection cabinet for books and files.
Every book must be disinfected with ozone 1 hour.
Step 6: Plastic packaging again.
Whether new books or old books are placed or transported, they are easily affected by dust, stains and strong light, which makes books contaminated with dirt, yellow and moldy.
Re-plastic packaging can isolate books from these injuries, and at the same time, it can relatively prevent extrusion deformation during sorting and transportation.
