MAINTENANCE, CARE & CLEANING
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.
• Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel
pads are just a few examples of items that can be
abrasive to stainless steel’s surface.
• 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.
• Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water.
Household and industrial cleaners are the worst
type of chlorides to use.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING AND
RESTORATION
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or similar solvents
to clean plastic or powder-coated parts. Instead, use
warm soapy water.
• For routine cleaning and removal of grease and
oil, apply white vinegar, ammonia, or any good
commercial detergent* with a soft cloth or sponge.
• Stainless steel polish (i.e., Zep

) and olive oil can act as a barrier
against fingerprints and smears.
• Degreasers* (i.e., Easy-Off

fatty acids, blood and burnt-on foods on all
surfaces.
