Maintenance
necessary, being mandatory to remove it with plain water and then dry the surface completely.
USE OF ABRASIVES:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the surface and
compromising the stainless steel protection, leave particles that rust and react contaminating the stainless
steel. That is why such products must not be used for cleaning and sanitization. Scrapings made with sharp
instruments or similar must also be avoided.
MAIN SUBSTANCES THAT CAUSE STAINLESS STEEL CORROSION:
Dust, grease, acid solutions
such as vinegar, fruit juices, blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel particles, residue of
sponges or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
