STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING CAUTION : Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products to clean stainless steel surfaces. There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow corrosion to occur. 1) Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of items that can be abrasive to stainless steel’s surface. 2) Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots.
STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING 4. Water Treatment To reduce deposits, soften the hard water when possible. Installation of certain filters can remove corrosive and distasteful elements. Salts in a properly maintained water softener can be to your advantage. Contact a treatment specialist if you are not sure of the proper water treatment. 5. Maintaining the cleanliness of your food equipment Use cleaners at recommended strength (alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride).
