Care of Stainless Steel
Maintain the natural beauty of stainless steel
and prolong its service life by following
these tips:
• Ordinary deposits of dirt and grease can be
removed with detergent and water. The
metal should be thoroughly rinsed and
dried after washing. Periodic cleaning will
help to maintain the bright surface
appearance and prevent corrosion.
• Contact with dissimilar metals should be
avoided whenever possible. This will help
prevent galvanic corrosion when salty or
acidic solutions are present.
• Salty or acidic solutions should not be
allowed to evaporate and dry on stainless
steel. They may cause corrosion. Ensure
that the stainless steel is wiped clean of
acidic solution residues.
• Deposits that adhere to the stainless steel
should be removed, especially from
crevices and corners. Never use ordinary
steel wool or steel brushes on the stainless
steel.
• If the stainless steel appears to be rusting,
the source of the rust may actually be an
iron or steel part not made of stainless
steel, such as a nail or screw. One remedy
is to paint all carbon steel parts with a
heavy protective coating. Stainless steel
fasteners should be used when possible.
