Stainless steel has always been an easy to maintain material and through adequate and routine cleaning, it is possible to keep its original characteristics unaffected, preserving its resistance to corrosion, appearance and hygienic properties

Maintaining Stainless Steel:

The best products to maintain the stainless steel are water, soap, soft and neutral detergents and ammonia based removers, diluted in lukewarm water, and applied with a soft cloth or nylon sponge. This routine cleaning easily removes the most common spots and its frequent application, almost always, removes the most intense dirt.

In case of moderate dirt, apply a homemade mixture of plaster or sodium bicarbonate, dissolved with alcohol until a paste is formed. Using a soft cloth or a nylon sponge, apply this mixture to the surface of the stainless steel. You can also use a brush and be sure to use long, light and uniform brush strokes. In case the sink is polished, brush in the same direction as the original polishing. Avoid scrubbing with circular movements. Then, just rinse with plenty of water, preferentially lukewarm water, and dry with a soft cloth.
In case of intense dirt, use pre-immersion in lukewarm or hot water with detergent, or in a homemade solution of ammonia and water. If this procedure is not enough to soften burnt food or carbonized deposits, use more aggressive products such as caustic soda based removers that are normally used for domestic cleaning. Finally, rinse the stainless steels surface and follow the steps for routine cleaning.
