WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH STAINLESS STEEL?
This extra-durable metal calls for extra careful cleaning
In most commercial kitchens, stainless steel is king. It’s ultra-durable, highly resistant to corrosion, and looks very sleek – making it a prime pick for countertops, kitchen equipment, utensils, and cookware. Regularly cleaning your stainless-steel equipment will extend its lifespan, saving you money and keeping your kitchen safe, sanitary, and shining bright.
But before you start scrubbing, it’s important to know how to properly clean stainless steel. Using the wrong cleaning supplies can easily damage the protective coating.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING TIPS
- Skip the bleach. Abrasive cleaners will cause corrosion, making stainless steel look stained.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers. Steel wool and stiff-bristle brushes can scratch and dull the metal.
- Tackle food trails. Remove water deposits and food residue that can damage the protective layer.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Commercial Kitchen Equipment
- Remove leftover food residue with a soft-bristled brush.
- Wipe down surfaces with a microfiber cloth and mild detergent or stainless-steel cleaner. Pro tip: Follow the polish lines when wiping.
- Rinse well with warm water to remove all soap residue and prevent streaking.
- Dry the surface with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and hard water deposits.
- Apply a food-safe stainless steel sanitizing formula and allow it to air dry.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Cookware
- Remove food residue with a soft-bristled brush or non-abrasive scrubbing pad.
- Hand wash with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to gently tackle stubborn stains and food particles.
- Thoroughly rinse cookware with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry cookware as soon as you’re done rinsing to avoid water spots and streaks.
- Buff the surface with a soft cloth and stainless-steel polish to maintain your cookware’s shine.
- Store cookware in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid tarnishing.
