  • How to Care For and Maintain Your Stainless Steel Items

How to Care For and Maintain Your Stainless Steel Items

Cleaning stainless steel may sound easy, and it should be. However, you can easily make small mistakes that could mess up your progress. If you want to learn more about caring for and maintaining stainless steel, you have come to the right place.

What You Will Need

Below are the things you will need for the cleaning and maintenance of stainless steel:

  • Cleaning cloth
  • Water
  • Mild Detergent
  • Soft Brush
  • 1% Ammonia Solution

How to Clean Stainless Steel

Now that your materials are ready, you will want to clean them already. Below are the steps you need to take 

  1. Remove the dirt first using a clean cloth, cotton swab, or a soft brush.
  1. Mix equal amounts of water, and mild detergent, then put this on the steel.
  1. After this, you may use a soft brush to scrub the surface area and any stains.
  1. Rinse it off with water, then wipe it with a clean cloth.

You may use 1% ammonia solution for any particularly stubborn stains but only do this as a last resort.

Things to Remember When Cleaning Stainless Steel

When you are cleaning stainless steel, there are some things that you will need to consider and remember.

  • Steel Can Be Scratched

If you handle it too aggressively, the surface can be scratched. You must avoid dragging any rough items across the steel. When you select your brush and cleaning cloth, they need to be very soft and will not cause any scratching.

  • Discolouration Can Happen

If left in contact with salts or acids, especially for a long time, discolouration can occur. Make sure that you use nothing but a mild detergent, water, and 1% ammonia solution when cleaning your stainless steel, and no additional ingredients get in touch with the steel.

  • Glass Cleaner Works Too

While it is mentioned that you should limit yourself to mild detergent, water, and 1% ammonia solution, glass cleaner can be used, too. Typically, a small amount of glass cleaning is used if fingerprint marks or oil stains are present on the steel. Just make sure that you only use a minimal amount and that the glass cleaner is not too strong.

  • Wash Your Stainless Steel Regularly

You will need to wash your stainless steel regularly to keep it clean and shiny. Depending on the use of the steel, you can decide how often you will clean it. If you use it often, you should clean it about once a week or as often as needed.

  • Work with a Professional

Finally, if you do not know how to clean and maintain your stainless steel and are unsure about the chemicals you should be using, consider working with a professional. A cleaning service would know the proper steps that should be taken to ensure that your steel maintains its shine.

Conclusion

Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials for our homes. The material is strong and does not corrode. It does not stain easily, and the materials are less prone to rusting. However, it does need to be properly maintained. Remember to wash your steel regularly to keep it clean and shiny. You can hire a professional to do this if you feel that you cannot do it yourself.
