Stainless Steel
Follow this procedure to clean and restore the finish of
stainless steel components:
1. In a plastic pail mix 4 tsp of alum (a powder found in
grocery stores or drugstores), with 32 oz. of water
(warm water will dissolve alum faster, but cool will
work).
2. Apply the alum/water solution with a pad of steel wool
(0000 grade or finer). GENTLY wipe the component
lengthwise; no pressure is necessary.
3. It is the chemical reaction between the carbon steel of
the wool and the alum solution that cleans the stain-
less, not the scrubbing or abrasive action of applica-
tion.
4. You may also use any stainless cleaner recom-
mended for cleaning boat parts.
