The Don’ts of Cleaning Stainless Steel
- Do not use abrasive sponges or steel wool to clean your stainless steel appliances. This will make the surface dull and lack of luster.
- Do not use any bleach or chlorine in cleaning your stainless steel cookware. This may cause the protective layer of the stainless steel to chip off, making it more susceptible to scratches.
- Don’t leave any dirty water or cleaning agents on the stainless steel surface for too long. The residue in these substances may cause damage to your appliances and kitchenware.
- Don’t use rough towels in polishing your stainless steel wares. Instead of being shiny, this may cause dullness. You may use mineral oil and a soft dry cloth instead.
