Frame Finish: Brushed Stainless Steel
Maintenance and Cleaning
If the feature has a brushed stainless steel frame, it can be cleaned by using stainless
steel wipes to wipe down the metal . Depending on the environmental factors, it is
typically only recommended to clean the frame every 1 ‐ 3 months , free from any
dust, debris or smudges. Be sure to wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid putting
any visible scratches on the metal. It is imperative that the stainless is maintained
properly and frequently to prevent corrosion and rust over time.
Methods for Cleaning the Brushed Stainless Steel Frame
1. Stainless steel cleaner or non ‐ chloride cleaners, such as Bluworld Stainless Steel Cleaning Towels;
2. Soft cloths and plastic scoring pads – pads should only be used in the direction of / parallel to the visible
grain and polish lines on the stainless steel surface;
3. Routine Cleaning – clean with soap, ammonia or mild detergent; use a cloth or sponge to apply.
THE STAINLESS STEEL FRAME SHOULD NEVER COME INTO CONTACT
WITH CARBON STEEL OR IRON; THIS WILL CAUSE RUST TO OCCUR
Frame Finish: Powder Coated
Maintenance and Cleaning

frequently to prevent calcium corrosion over time. Always keep powder coat dry to
prevent water spots from forming on the surface. If calcium deposits begin to form,
they must be cleaned immediately in order to avoid permanent damage to the
powder coated finish.
Methods for Cleaning the Powder Coated Surface
