Care guide for Stainless Steel model

Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or even abuse.

Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal’ use.

DO USE

•A soft cloth or synthetic sponge.

•Soap, or mild household detergent. ( Handy Andy )

•Diluted ammonia in warm water.

•A nylon bristle brush.

•Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless steel”.

DO NOT USE

•Acids.

•A steam cleaner.

•Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.

•Metallic scourers, steel wool or metal scrapers.

•Wire brushes or emery paper.

•So called ‘silver cleaners’.

•Kitchen scourers / foam pads.

Please note: Some of the suggested procedures in the table below may alter the surface appearance of the treated area.

They should therefore only be applied with careful consideration and care.

Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean. Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless steel for many years.

Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary and use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job. Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well and wipe dry.
