DAILY CLEANING
• Stainless Steel Surfaces
To prevent discoloration or rust on stainless steel
several important steps need to be taken. Stainless
steel contains 70-80% iron which will rust. It also
contains 12-30% chromium which forms an invisible
passive film over the steel surface which acts as a
shield against corrosion. As long as the protective
layer is intact, the metal will not corrode. If the film is
broken or contaminated, outside elements can begin
to breakdown the steel and begin to form rust or
discoloration.
Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths
or plastic scouring pads.
CAUTION
Never use steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers.
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-
chloride cleaners. Any cleaner containing chlorides
will damage the protective film of the stainless
steel. Chlorides are also commonly found in hard
water, salts and household and industrial cleaners.
If cleaners containing chlorides are used, be sure to
rinse repeatedly and dry thoroughly upon completion.
Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with
soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic
scrub pad. It is always good to rub with the grain
of the steel. There are also stainless steel cleaners
available which can restore and preserve the finish of
the steels protective layer.
Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist
of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean
thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners
in an attempt to restore the passivity of steel.
