2. On no account should “wire wool”
pads be used unless they are made of
stainless steel.
3. Harsh abrasives and scouring materials
should not be used for cleaning
stainless steel as they will leave scratch
marks in the surface and damage the
appearance of the article. Likewise,
do not use wire brushes, scrapers or
contaminated scouring pads.
4. If the article has a directional polished
grain, any cleaning with abrasives
should be carried out along this grain
and not across it.
5. After use, always remove wet cleaning
aids (such as cloths, pads, containers)
from the surface, to avoid formation of
water marks/stains.
6. Most domestic dishwashing liquids
contain chlorides; if they are left in long-
term contact with stainless steel, pitting
corrosion may occur.
7. Silver Dip cleaners are particularly
harmful as they contain strong
acids which can very quickly cause
discoloration and pitting. If this type of
cleaner comes into contact with the
surface of a stainless steel article, it
should be rinsed off thoroughly with
clean water.
Ovens
Only clean ovens with soap and water.
Shower Room and Wash Basin Fittings
Always put the cold water into the
wash hand basin before adding the hot.
Thermoplastic products such as basins
and showers have an adequate but
limited resistance to high temperature.
70°C normally should be considered the
maximum temperature the products can
withstand. Bear in mind the maximum
comfortable for human skin is
approximately 40°C!
The normal effect of overheating on
plastics is distortion of the surface,
although perhaps unsightly this does not
generally affect the practical application of
the product.
The best way to keep the surface clean
is by regular conventional soap and
water and clear rinsing in cold water.
For stubborn stains Thetford Bathroom
Cleaner is recommended. The use of any
other cleaners may harm the product,
cause premature failure and will
invalidate the warranty.
Abrasive products should never be used
and the same applies to solutions such as
nail varnish remover (Acetone), linseed oil
based products (such as putty), thinners,
pine oil, etc.
Thetford Bathroom Cleaner is available
from most good caravan dealers.
Water Systems
The water systems, and in particular
storage tanks, in caravans are susceptible
to contamination by bacteria if care is
not taken with their use and cleaning.
The symptoms caused by bacterial
contamination are not purely limited to
gastro-intestinal diseases, but may also
manifest themselves as ear, nose, throat,
eye or skin infections. It is therefore
