Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-
chloride cleaners at recommended strength.
Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard,
stubborn stains. If you boil water in stainless
steel equipment, remember the single most
likely cause of damage is chlorides in the
water. Heating cleaners that contain chlorides
has a similar effect.

If chlorinated cleaners are used, rinse and
wipe equipment and supplies, and dry

immediately. The sooner you wipe off
standing water, especially when it contains
cleaning agents, the better. After wiping
equipment down, allow it to air dry; oxygen
helps maintain the stainless steel’s
passivity film.

1. Stainless steels rust when passivity (film-

shield) breaks down as a result of scrapes,
scratches, deposits and chlorides.

2 Stainless steel rust starts with pits and

cracks.

3. Use the proper tools. Do not use steel

pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean
stainless steel.

4. Use non-chlorinated cleaners at

recommended concentrations. Use only
chloride- free cleaners.

5. Soften your water. Use filters and softeners

whenever possible.

water as soon as possible. Prolonged
contact causes eventual problems.
