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.
