STAINLESS STEEL CARE

CLEANING:

Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron, which will rust if not properly maintained. Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30% chromium, which forms an invisible passive, protective film that shields against corrosion.

If the protective film remains intact, the stainless steel will remain intact. However, if the film is damaged, the stainless steel can break down and rust.

PREVENTIVE CARE:

To prevent stainless steel break- down, follow these steps:

1.Never use any metal tools, scrapers, files, wire brushes, or scouring pads (except for stainless steel scouring pads,) which will mar the surface.

2.Never use steel wool – which will leave behind particles that will rust.

3.Never use acid-based or chloride containing cleaning solutions – which will break down the protective film.
