General Care Instructions for Stainless Steel Products
✅ Regular Cleaning
Use warm water and a soft cloth or sponge : For routine cleaning, mild dish soap and warm water are sufficient.
Rinse and dry thoroughly : Always rinse off any soap residue and dry the surface to prevent water spots.
✅ Deep Cleaning
Use a stainless steel cleaner or a baking soda paste (baking soda + water): Apply with a soft cloth, following the grain of the steel.
Avoid using abrasive pads or steel wool : These can scratch the surface and lead to rust.
✅ Polishing
Use a microfiber cloth and a stainless steel polish or olive oil to restore shine.
Always polish with the grain (you’ll see faint lines in one direction—follow those).
What to Avoid
❌ Harsh chemicals or bleach : Can cause staining or corrosion.
❌ Chloride-containing cleaners : Especially in industrial or poolside settings.
❌ Salt buildup : Rinse off any salt residues quickly, especially on marine-grade (316) stainless steel.
Special Tips
For Kitchenware (Cookware, Utensils):
Avoid high heat when empty — it can cause discoloration.
To remove burnt-on food, soak in hot soapy water or use a vinegar-baking soda mix.
Dishwasher safe (mostly), but handwashing extends the lifespan.
For Appliances:
Use glass cleaner or a vinegar-water mix to remove fingerprints.
Apply a protective stainless steel spray for a fingerprint-resistant finish.
For Outdoor Stainless Steel (Grills, Railings, etc.):
Clean more frequently due to exposure to elements.
Apply a protective wax or silicone spray to prevent corrosion.
Rust or Stain Removal
Use a non-abrasive cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
For stubborn spots, use a product like Bar Keepers Friend or a stainless steel rust remover.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
