Cleaning and Maintenance of Stainless Steel surfaces

Mortar  and  cement  splashes  can  be  treated  with  a  solution  containing  a  small  amount  of  phosphoric 

acid. Rinse with water (preferably deionised water) and dry. Deionised water reduces the risk of water 

staining marks.

over the stainless steel, rinse generously with fresh water.

- Mirror-polished stainless steel can be cleaned with glass cleansers. These products should be selected 

chloride-free. 

-  Scouring  powers  should  not  be  used  as  these  products  can  leave  permanent  scratches  on  stainless 

steel surfaces. 

- Alternatively, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner containing phosphoric acid to remove contamina-

tion, rinse with deionised water and dry. It is advisable that the entire surface of the component is treated 

so that a patchy appearance is avoided.

- Cleaners that should NOT be used on stainless steels include:

For more stubborn dirt, nylon pads are usually satisfactory. 

Non-stainless steel based scouring pads, cleaning wool or wire brushes must not be used on stainless 

steel. Apart  from  scratching  the  surface,  these  pads  can  leave  carbon  steel  deposits  on  the  stainless 

surface, which can subsequently develop into rust spots, if the surface becomes wet. 

On “grained” directional finishes, the direction of cleaning strokes should be along the grain and not

across it.

Where water has been used for cleaning or rinsing, wiping the surface dry to prevent watermarks, espe-

cially in hard water areas may be advisable. The use of deionised water will prevent the formation of hard 

water staining.
