To get rid of water stains, rinse with clear hot water.
You can also avoid water stains by wiping the surface
with a soft and dry cloth. A non-abrasive cream
product or a cleaning product can be used for light
superficial stains. Products specifically designed for
stainless steel cleaning and containing citric acid can
be used. Nylons scouring pads are recommended to
remove the majority of food premises. If a more severe
treatment is required to get rid of stripes and surface
scratches, it is recommended to use a very thin
abrasive to avoid damaging the surface. If stainless
steel has a direction or a special pattern, repairs must
be aligned with the direction of the original finish to
obtain a more esthetic result. If a metallic brush is
used, it should be made of stainless steel from the
same steel gauge then the exhaust hood material. It
is important to verify that the abrasive used are exempt
of all contamination like chloride and iron. If you need
to clean the surface with a chemical product or an
abrasive, we recommend making a test first on a non-
showing surface to verify the results.
If the above advice does not provide a satisfying result,
remember that stainless steel can be polished on site
by specialists, manually or mechanically. Stainless
steel is solid and not plated; therefore, it doesn’t lose
its corrosion resistance properties following a
polishing.
