Tips For Cleaning Stainless Steel
It’s no secret that stainless steel is one of the most resilient materials available on the market today. That’s why it’s used for a wide variety of both household and industrial items, including machines. Cleaning stainless steel is important in order to preserve its chromium finish. Without it, the metal is just as prone to rust and tarnish as any other.
There are a wide number of methods for cleaning stainless steel. Likewise, there are also a number of ways to prevent damage. It’s a good idea to remove the stains as quickly as possible. Although stainless steel doesn’t discolor easily, leaving it unattended risks letting the dirt set in and it can eat away at the chrome.
Take note of the fact that the quality of the finish may differ with each device. Although stainless steel is durable, it can be damaged by harsh cleaners that scratch away the chrome. If you’re doing routine cleaning, use a gentle detergent like dish soap mixed with warm water. It’s important to dilute the detergent as it can do just as much damage as strong chemical cleansers. If the stainless steel already has tough, hard to remove stains such as burnt food, the best thing to do is to let it soak for a while. If it really won’t come off then hold off that commercial cleaner for just a little while longer. What you can do is fill up the pan with hot water and then take a dryer fabric softener sheet and drop it in. From here, all you have to do is let it soak until the food comes off on its own. If you’ve got problems with discolored pots on the other hand, use old or crushed tomatoes and put them in the pot with some water. Let this mixture simmer for about half an hour and then it will clean out effortlessly.
When you’re done rinsing, dry them off with a soft towel or cloth to avoid water spots. Just wipe them in the direction of the polish lines so you don’t scratch the finish. If you’ll be cleaning brushed stainless steel then use baby oil and a paper towel. This will leave it looking just like new.
Cleaning stainless steel with the use of glass cleaner or household ammonia is best reserved for fingerprints. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly though as some of the chemicals may latch onto the material. New types of finishes for stainless steel are thankfully no longer fingerprint magnets. These are better to use especially when you have kids around.
These same techniques can also be used in cleaning stainless steel appliances around the kitchen. Just apply the same soapy water solution with a non-abrasive sponge so as not to damage the surface. When cleaning stainless steel, all you really have to remember are the following: 1) never mix homemade cleaners with commercial cleaners, 2) never use bleach and 3) read the label and follow the instructions if you decide to use anything bought from the store.
