(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and
others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact with the
stainless steel.
These substances a

causing corrosion spots (pi

Even detergents used in domes

c cleaning must not remain in contact with the stainless
steel longer than the 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 protec

on, leave par
ti
cles that rust and react
contamina

and sani

on. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid solu
ti
ons such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern solu
ti
ons (brine),
blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel par
ti
cles, residue of sponges
or common steel wool, and also other abrasives
When the protec
ti
ve coat is broken, the corrosion process begins, being possible to avoid
it by means of constant and adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately a
ft
er using the equipment. For such end, use
water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a so
ft
cloth or a nylon
sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with a so
ft
cloth, this
way avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps.
The rinsing and drying processes are extremely important to prevent stains and corrosion
from arising.
