Safely clean your commercial kitchen
In many states it is important that you are using low VOC cleaning products whether you are in the commercial field or it is for home use. There is a way to safely and effectively clean your stainless steel appliances and fixtures without compromising lasting results. If your commercial kitchen is full of stainless steel, and we’re guessing it is, you will want to read this.
Think of all the things in your commercial kitchen that are made of stainless steel: sinks, hood vents, appliances, workstations, grills, and even that industrial coffee pot! Your kitchen’s metal surfaces attract so much debris such as fingerprints, food splatter, and grease that you constantly need to clean them. You can remove all of this carefully and completely as long as you know how to properly do so.
Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related, and, in many applications, each is dependent upon the other. In the handling of food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and in the use of stainless steel as a construction material (roofs, wall panels, entryways, signs, etc.), stainless steel provides the degree of corrosion resistance that is necessary to prevent product contamination or surface rusting. However, stainless steel performs best when clean. This is why it is used in commercial kitchens and other industrial areas as well as your own kitchen. It truly is the best surface.
Cleanliness is essential for maximum resistance to corrosion. It’s important to remove dirt, grime, and surface stains that occur during normal handling and exposure to the elements. Stainless steel needs to be cleaned for aesthetic reasons and to preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen from the air combines with the chromium in the stainless steel to form this chromium oxide film that protects from further corrosion.
Any contamination of the surface of stainless steel by dirt, or other material, hinders this process and traps corrosive agents. Therefore, some form of routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface. Stainless steels are easily cleaned by many different methods. They actually thrive with frequent cleaning and it is impossible to wear out stainless steel by excessive cleaning.
With that said, it’s important to know what you are cleaning your stainless steel with not only for effectiveness but for safety reasons. Sheila Shine is an all in one stainless steel cleaner, now available with low VOC to comply with California and other states that require it. What we mean by “all in one” is that it cleans, protects, and polishes your stainless steel with just one application. As mentioned above, stainless steel thrives with frequent cleaning, but you have to make sure you are using the right product and the right method in order for it to continue to shine and survive.
