Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Extreme temperatures from charcoal or wood fires will cause discoloration of stainless steel surfaces. Routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of Stainless Steel. The methods below are suggestions for cleaning stainless steel surfaces. Choose a cleaning method appropriate to the requirement. If you choose to use scouring powder or solvents, consult with the solvent manufacturer or supplier before use.

Before cleaning, first test any cleaning product in an inconspicuous location and consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for corrosion caused by not completely removing cleaners. Never use brushes or steel wool as they will scratch and leave particles embedded on stainless steel surfaces, which can lead to rusting. Always rub or wipe in the direction of the polish lines in the stainless steel surface, not across them. Thorough rinsing with clean water is recommended after all cleaning procedures. Dry all surfaces completely after rinsing. Be careful not to let any stainless steel cleaner come in contact with painted or plastic components as damage may occur.

Routine Care

The Char-Broil® Stainless Steel Grill Cleaner and the Thermos® Stainless Steel Grill Cleaner are good choices for routine cleaning of stainless steel surfaces. Mild stains and loose dirt and soil can also be removed with a soft cloth and clean warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Stubborn Stains

Stubborn stains, discoloration and possibly rust and rust pitting can occur from cooking, exposure to harsh outdoor conditions, or extreme cooking temperatures. There are many cleaning agents commercially available formulated to restore the finish of stainless steel. Obtain advice from the solvent manufacturer or supplier when choosing the appropriate cleaner for your requirement. These cleaners can be acidic. Care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes or mouth. Be careful not let any powder or solvent come in contact with painted or plastic components as damage may occur.
