There are three basic things which can break down
your stainless steel's passivity layer and allow corrosion
to rear its ugly head.
• Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel
pads are just a few examples of 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 are present in table salt, food, and water.
Household and industrial cleaners are the worst
type of chlorides to use.

Do not use stainless steel cleaners or similar solvents
to clean plastic or powder-coated parts. Instead, use
warm soapy water.
• For routine cleaning and removal of grease and
oil, apply white vinegar, ammonia, or any good
commercial detergent* with a soft cloth or sponge.
• Stainless steel polish (i.e., Zep
Polish, Weiman
Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish,
®
Nyco
Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish, or Ecolab
®
Ecoshine
) and olive oil can act as a barrier against
®
fingerprints and smears.
• Degreasers* (i.e., Easy-Off
Degreaser or Simple Green
Degreaser) are excellent for removal of grease, fatty
acids, blood and burnt-on foods on all surfaces.
• For restoration/passivation or removing stubborn
stains and discoloration, Brillo
Cleanser, Ecolab
Specifax
®
Metal Polish, Sheila Shine, or talc can be applied
by rubbing in the direction of the polish lines.
* Do not use detergents or degreasers with chlorides
or phosphates.
