5. Keep your food equipment clean.
Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-
chloride cleaners at recommended strength.
Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard,
stubborn stains. If you boil water in stainless
steel equipment, remember the single most
likely cause of damage is chlorides in the
water. Heating cleaners that contain chlorides
have a similar effect.
Recommended cleaners for specific situations
JOB
Routine cleaning
Fingerprints & smears
Stubborn stains &
discoloration
Grease & fatty acids,
blood, burnt-on-foods
Grease & oil
Restoration/Passivation
Review
1. Stainless steels rust when passivity (film-
shield) breaks down as a result of scrapes,
scratches, deposits and chlorides.
2
Stainless steel rust starts with pits and
cracks.
3. Use the proper tools. Do not use steel
pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean
stainless steel.
4. Use
non-chlorinated
recommended concentrations. Use only
chloride- free cleaners.

6. Rinse, rinse, rinse.
If chlorinated cleaners are used, rinse and
wipe equipment and supplies dry immedi-
ately. The sooner you wipe off standing
water, especially when it contains cleaning
agents, the better. After wiping equipment
down, allow it to air dry; oxygen helps main-
tain the stainless steel's passivity film.
7. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic
acid) on stainless steel.
8. Regularly restore/passivate stainless
steel.
Apply with cloth or sponge
Provides barrier film
Rub in direction of polish lines
Excellent removal on all
finishes
Apply with sponge or cloth
5. Soften your water. Use filters and softeners
whenever possible.
6. Wipe off cleaning agent(s) and standing
water as soon as possible. Prolonged
contact causes eventual problems.
To learn more about chloride-stress corrosion
and how to prevent it, contact the equipment
manufacturer or cleaning materials supplier.
