Surfaces, which are marred, collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the
possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
“Heat tint” is darkened areas that sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to
excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and
are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure
calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS
scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint may be lessened by reducing heat to the equipment
during slack periods.
