 If
you own a cane a cane stand is a must-have. A cane stand is not
only a convenient place to store your cane when not in use but it
can add an asthetic touch to your hallway or bedroom. Placing your
cane in a stand will protect the cane from damage and from getting
lost. A cane stand is a good place to secure your cane when not
in use so you or someone else in your home does not trip over it,
causing major injury.
You can get a cane stand to match the décor of your home.
Cane stands are made from many different materials from wicker to
various types of wood to metal. Many people use cane stands to store
thing like umbrellas as well, so you can be sure to find multiple
uses for your cane stand.
Walking Cane Tips
When leaning your cane against a flat wall, place it on its head/handle
and allow the rubber to touch the wall (as shown here). This grips
and prevents your cane from slipping to the floor.
Clean your cane with a simple furniture lemon oil. It is usually
obtainable in your local supermarket. Camouflage nicks and scratches
in dark wood by touching the spot with a waterproof black or dark
brown felt tip pen, then rubbing it with a soft tissue or cloth.
It's remarkable how well this works, and it's so simple.
NOTE: If you have a naturally oiled cane, the lemon oil rub is
especially helpful in maintaining a soft luster, a clean look, and
supple wood.
Any metal on the cane can be kept shiny and clean with a good
silver polish. A rouge cloth can be used for touch-up between cleanings.
When out in public, ladies, use the strap rather than placing your
cane in a shopping basket or on a counter; it's less likely to be
stolen.
Never put your cane on the roof of a car while opening the door.
This is a very common way to lose your cane. If necessary, place
the cane on the hood of the car near the windshield wipers; this
way, you'll see the cane before you drive off. Because canes are
constantly being dropped, occasionally examine the handle for cracks
and looseness. If there is a problem, send it to us to be repaired
before it breaks. Occasionally, pieces chip off the wooden handle
when the cane is dropped. In most cases, this can be repaired. Call
us if you have a problem.
Rubber tips can often be found at Ace Hardware stores or other
stores which specialize in do-it-yourself construction. If you ask
for rubber tips for the bottom of chairs or tables, you are more
likely to find a local source for rubber tips. You will need to
know the diameter of the bottom of your cane. Determine this by
measuring the wood immediately above the present rubber tip. If
your old rubber tip does not come off easily, then cut it with a
razor blade. Never glue on a rubber tip. If a rubber tip is too
large but it's all you have, then wrap the bottom of the cane with
tape to make it bigger.
Straps are placed several inches below the handle for a reason.
The strap in only meant to be a convenience to enable you to keep
the cane with you when you have nowhere to put your cane. It is
possible to get tangled up in your strap if your hand is in it while
walking and using your cane. Straps which are permanently applied
(#302 strap) can be remove, but will leave an ugly scar if you try
to remove the braid which encircles the cane as well as the strap.
If you need to remove the strap, simply cut off the loop through
which you put your hand and leave the braid in place.
