2 Simple Ways to Clean Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is known to be a corrosion-resistant material that is easy to clean and environmentally safe.  It is the driving force behind creating hygienic machinery and tools for a wide array of industries, including big box businesses pushing home consumer products.  This is another field (consumer home products) where the stainless steel selection is dominant.

A plethora of options are available for stainless steel kitchen appliances, cookware, and kitchen tools.  But as a consumer you want to receive the maximum benefits from it by cleaning this product properly.  Today I am going to share with you two tips on how to achieve this goal.

Use a Mild Dishwashing Soap and Towel

For those stubborn food remnants use a mixture of warm water and mild dishwashing soap.  It is a simple process.  Rinse the cookware thoroughly to avert discoloration and blemishing.   Then take the cloth with the water and soap mixture and wash the cookware down.  Next, rinse it once again before towel drying the cookware completely ensuring no water spots are left upon it.

Try a Stainless Steel Cleaner

There are cleaners specifically created to clean your stainless steel cookware.  You don’t have to use them but it is a good option that helps minimize any scratching from developing further.  Proceed with caution if you use this route.  You want to be sure it works on the desired surface before trying it.

Stainless steel is a rust-resistant, durable, 100% recyclable material that is great for consumer and commercial usage.  Find out more about the benefits of using stainless steel and nickel alloys in your home or business by calling us today!

How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink

Adding a stainless steel sink is a stylish choice for your home kitchen.   It always makes me feel like I’m in a top-notch chef’s kitchen when I see one in someone’s home.  It looks great, won’t crack and is durable.  But how do you keep it looking fresh and new after years of use?  Here are some tips on how to clean a stainless steel sink.

Use Mild Products

Skip the toxic cleaning products.  Switch to baking soda or white vinegar.   Baking soda eliminates odors and removes any stuck on grime.  White vinegar removes stains while polishing the stainless steel at the same time.  These two are household items you may already own. It is a no fuss, cost-effective, hassle free way to keep your sink looking pristine.

Implement Preventive Measures

The key to keeping your new kitchen sink clean is to employ preventive measures into the mix.   For instance, do not leave any metal canned products or cast iron for long periods of time in the sink.  This leads to staining.  Remember to never cut directly on a stainless steel surface.  If you are going to clean it then go with the grain.  This makes the material shine like new.  If you live in an area where hard water is a problem then wipe the sink dry after each use.

Stainless steel is not just used for kitchen sinks.  It is also an ideal material choice for processing plants, high pressure machinery, condensers, heat exchanger tubes and more.
