Cleaning and maintenance of steel

Cleaning stainless steel is easy. Just follow a few basic rules. With proper cleaning of the steel you can have a durable, beautiful and constantly shiny kitchen.

What to check

To keep the steel of the kitchen always like new, just check its surfaces after each use. In particular, care must be taken so that on the kitchen there are no:

Food stains or residues
Especially when it comes to foods or liquids with a high acid content.
Drops of water
To prevent marks caused by scale build-up.
Fingerprints
Especially on the top, on the doors and around the handles, which, while not affecting the surface, cause unsightly marks.

What to do

To ensure maximum durability and shine of the kitchen steel, it is sufficient to follow a few simple rules.

For routine cleaning
For routine surface maintenance or to remove stains from food or fingerprints, simply spray a solution of water and alcohol and then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
For stubborn dirt
For more stubborn dirt, it is preferable to use steel-specific creams, or sodium bicarbonate mixed with a little hot water.
Always use a soft, clean cloth
Only use a soft cotton cloth or a roll of kitchen paper, which should be thoroughly clean and dry to avoid streaks.

What not to do

Here are some things that must absolutely be avoided, in order not to risk damaging the surface of the steel.

Do not use abrasive sponges and metal scourers
That can scratch the surfaces.
Do not use chlorine or iodine based cleaners and bleach
If necessary, use only steel-specific products.
Do not leave wet scissors or other iron objects on the steel
This will prevent unpleasant rust stains that are difficult to remove.
Avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods
While steel has good resistance to acidity, it can be affected by prolonged contact with acidic foods.
