CAUTION: 

 

Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products to clean stainless steel surfaces.

 

Stainless Steel Opponents

    There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow  

 

 

corrosion to rear its ugly head.

1)   Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be  

 

abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.

2)   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.

3)   Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water.  Household and industrial cleaners are the worst    

type of chlorides to use.

8 steps that can help prevent rust on stainless steel:

1.   Using the correct cleaning tools

    Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning your stainless steel products.  The stainless steel’s passive layer  will not 

be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads.  Step 2 tells you how to find the polishing marks.

2.   Cleaning along the polish lines

    Polishing lines or “grain” are visible on some stainless steels.  Always scrub parallel to visible lines on some 

stainless steels.  Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth when you cannot see the grain.

3.   Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners

    While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever increasing choice 

of non-chloride cleaners.  If you are not sure of your cleaner’s chloride content contact your cleaner supplier.  
If they tell you that your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask if they have an alternative.  Avoid cleaners 
containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel,  causing pitting and rusting.

4.   Water Treatment

    To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible.  Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive 

and distasteful elements.  Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your advantage.  Contact a 
treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment.

5.   Maintaining the cleanliness of your food equipment

    Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride).  Avoid build-up of hard 

stains by cleaning frequently.  When boiling water with your stainless steel equipment, the single most likely 
cause of damage is  chlorides in the water.  Heating any cleaners containing chlorides will have the same 
damaging effects.

6.   Rinse

    When using chlorinated cleaners you must rinse and wipe dry immediately.  It is better to wipe standing 

cleaning agents and water as soon as possible.  Allow the stainless steel equipment to air dry.  Oxygen helps 
maintain the passivity film on stainless steel.

7.   Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) should never be used on stainless steel

8.   Regularly restore/passivate stainless steel
