Caring for stainless steel

Stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant, however, stainless steel applications can still remain at risk to surface damage.  Oxidation, corrosion, rusting, or staining ca occur over the long-term in harsh environments without routine cleaning and maintenance.  It’s important to use a good stainless steel cleaner on all stainless steel appliance, fixtures and structures.

All stainless steel contains at least 10.5% chromium by weight.  It is this chromium content that creates a shield called the passive layer, which protects it from corrosion, unlike other steels.  The higher the chromium content, the greater the corrosion resistance.  This is what makes stainless steel one of the best metals for appliances and fixtures not just in the commercial and industrial world but in residential homes as well.

The life of stainless steel can be extended by preventing contact with corrosive substances.  The most common mistake people make is using a corrosive product to clean stainless steel surfaces.  Never use chloride cleaners, abrasive cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, or chloride bleach.  Always use a cleaner made specifically for stainless steel.

Stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to preserve the metal’s integrity and maintain a pristine appearance.  With proper care, and by selecting an appropriate grade, stainless steel can be saved from corrosion.  When stainless steel maintenance is neglected, corrosive substances can accumulate on vulnerable surfaces.  Keep stainless steel clean and shiny by using a cleaner that is made to do so.

Proper routine care and specialized cleaning can extend stainless steel’s lifespan and ensure that applications operate smoothly.  Although stainless steel’s built-in chromium content works to guard against corrosion, relying on this alone is not enough.  Exposure to chemical solutions, weathering, salt, or mechanical damage, all contribute to the need for routine cleaning.  Correct cleaning methods help stainless steel continue to shine as one of today’s most versatile materials in the residential, commercial, and industrial world.
