Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s
reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore sub-
jected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal use’.
Cleaning materials
DO USE
• A soft cloth or synthetic sponge.
• Soap, or a mild household detergent.
• Diluted ammonia in warm water.
• A nylon bristle brush.
• Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless steel”.
DO NOT USE
• Acids.
• Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.
• Metallic scourers, steel wool or metal scrapers.
• Wire brushes or emery paper.
• So called ‘silver cleaners’.
• Kitchen scourers/foam pads.
Cleaning procedure
• Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.
• Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless
steel for many years.
• Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary ( i.e. when noticeably dull or dirty ) and
use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.
• Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse
well and wipe dry.
