CARE GUIDE FOR STAINLESS STEEL Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal’ use. DO USE • A soft cloth or synthetic sponge. • Soap, or mild household detergent. (Handy Andy) • Diluted ammonia in warm water. • A nylon bristle brush. • Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless steel”. DO NOT USE Acids.
CONDITION ACTION NOTES AND COMMENTS Requires routine cleaning Mild detergent solution applied with soft sponge or cloth. Rinse and wipe dry. If possible use warm to handhot water.
