u won’t find it difficult to spot stainless steel products. When you are at home, just look around and you will find many home and kitchen accessories made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is one of the most used metals in different applications. However, available in a raw form, stainless steel is cut, weld and mold into desired shapes by sheet metal fabricators. No matter how complex your requirements are, you will get the high quality cut steel shapes as per your needs.

Here, we will discuss some tips to clean the stainless steel surfaces:

Oil & Grease marks on the surface:

When the stainless steel surface is oily and greasy, all you need to do is to wash the surface with Hydrocarbon solvents like methylated spirit, isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Also, you can find some alkaline formulations on the market that can help in removing oil and grease marks from the stainless steel surface.

Burnt Food and carbon deposits:

To clean the stainless steel surface from burnt food and carbon deposits, first, you need to soak the surface in the hot water with detergent. Use a nylon brush to remove the carbon deposits. You can also use scouring powder too if you need.

Rusting and stains due to carbon steel contamination:

If you are thinking to use carbon steel wool or pads, you should drop the idea. There are proprietary gels available that can be used to clean rust and stains. Also, you can use Oxalic acid solution and 10% Phosphoric acid solution. Afterwards, you can rinse it with water and ammonia.

Tea and coffee stains:

For tea- soak the surface with a hot solution of washing soda and for coffee- you can soak in the hot solution of baking soda. Afterwards, clean with water rinsing.

Accumulated grime deposits:

For such hard grim deposits, you can use abrasive paste rinsing.
