ABOUT
THIS CHART
• Always start by selecting the mildest cleaner
according to the kind of soil and the material
soiled. To prevent marring the stainless steel
finish, always apply the cleaners in the direction
of the polish lines. Rinse and dry immediately to
avoid water marks.
• Use clean applicators, i.e. soft cloths, sponges,
paper towels, soap-filled pads, for cleaning and
scouring.
• The use of brand names in the chart is intended
only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not
constitute an endorsement. The omission of
any brand name cleaner does not imply its
inadequacy.
• The brands listed on the chart are suggested as
examples of a type of cleaner, such as non-
abrasive, mild abrasive, powder, creme, etc.
Use all products in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
