Stainless Steel Care & Cleaning
USER ACTION
DO NOT
use any steel wool, abrasive, or chlorine-
based products to clean stainless steel surfaces.
Stainless Steel Opponents
There are three basic things which can break down your stainless
steel's passivity layer and allow corrosion to form.
• Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, steel pads, and other
items that can be abrasive to stainless steel's surface.
• Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots. You
may have hard or soft water depending on what part of the
country you live in. Hard water can leave spots. Hard water
that is heated can leave deposits if left to sit too long. These
deposits can cause the passive layer to break down and rust
your stainless steel. All deposits left from food prep or service
should be removed as soon as possible.
• Chlorides which are present in table salt, food and water, as
well as in household and industrial cleaners. These are the
worst type of chlorides to use on stainless steel.
