CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use ordinary soap and water (with or
without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any
corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors, that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a
damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing
cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the nish of the stainless steel.
NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits that do not respond to the above procedure can
usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO
NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of
the nish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL
TOOLS. Surfaces that are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more dicult to clean. Marring also increases
the possibility of corrosive attack. Renishing may then be required.
Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected
to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel
and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning techniques, but tint which does
not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-
BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powered cleanser. Heat tint action may be
lessened by not applying or by reducing, heat to equipment during slack periods.
