Cleaning and maintenance instructions for stainless steel
Material Description: Stainless steel is extremely durable, and maintenance is simple and inexpensive . Proper care,
particularly under corrosive conditions, is essential . Always start with the simplest solution and work your way toward
the more complicated .
Routine cleaning: Daily or as often as needed use a solution of warm water and soap, detergent, or ammonia .
Apply the cleaning solution per the manufacturer’s instructions and always use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid
damaging the finish .
Stubborn Stains: To remove stains from stainless steel use a stainless steel cleaner and polish such as Ball
®
stainless steel cleaner or a soft abrasive . Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and apply in the same
direction as the polish lines .
CAUTION! Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Always use stainless steel
wool or stainless steel brushes.
Special Situations for Material
Fingerprints and Smears: To remove fingerprints or smears use a high quality stainless steel cleaner and polish in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions . Many of these products leave a protective coating that helps prevent
future smears and fingerprints .
Grease and Oil : To remove grease and oil use a quality commercial detergent or caustic cleaner . Apply in
accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions and in the direction of the polish lines .
Precautions: Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides (bleaches, salts), bromides (sanitizing agents), thiocyanates
(pesticides, photography chemicals, and some foods), and iodides on stainless steel equipment, especially if acid
conditions exist .
CAUTION! Do not permit salty solutions to evaporate and dry on stainless steel.
The appearance of rust streaks on stainless steel leads to the belief that the stainless steel is rusting . Look for the
actual source of the rust in some iron or steel particles which may be touching, but not actually a part of the stainless
steel structure .
NOTE: Strongly acidic or caustic cleaners may attack the steel, causing a reddish film to appear. The use of these
cleaners should be avoided.
Brand Names: Use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner . This does not constitute an
endorsement, nor does the omission of any brand name cleaner imply its inadequacy . Many products named are
regional in distribution, and can be found in local supermarkets, department and hardware stores, or through your
cleaning service . It is emphasized that all products should be used in strict accordance with package instructions .
