Cleaning Stainless Steel

ALWAYS WIPE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN (POLISH LINES).


Stainless Steel is easier to scratch than you may think. Never wipe brushed Stainless across the grain.


For routine cleaning use a soft cloth or sponge, a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe in a straight line following the grain. Rinse with clean water, wipe dry if necessary.

For fingerprints a glass cleaner works well.

For dirty fingerprints, watermarks, grease and stains, use a specialty stainless steel cleaner. Remember to wipe in the direction of the grain.

For Scratches on Polished (Satin) Finish. Slight scratches - use impregnated nylon pads. Polish with pads dressed with iron-free abrasives for deeper scratches. Follow polish lines. Then clean with soap or detergent as for routine cleaning. Do not use ordinary steel wool - iron particles can become embedded in stainless steel and cause further surface problems. Stainless steel and "Scotch-brite" scouring pads are satisfactory.
