Over the past few years, many designers debated whether stainless steel (stainless steel) will continue to be popular in the kitchens of the professional or master chef and laity. Because the kitchen appliances are shiny black and white began to attract attention.
While the debate continues, millions of people still prefer stainless steel because it looks awesome. Are you one who chooses to use stainless steel as a theme in the home kitchen?
If so, here are some ways to care for and maintain the stainless steel look flashy at all times.
1. Anti-rust does not mean that cannot be broken
besides looks smooth, nonporous surface of stainless steel inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. That is the reason why stainless steel is so widely used in the professional kitchen.
Unfortunately, it does not mean rust and stains can be prevented. The experts at the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers said that, if protective anti-rust steel surface is scratched with a wire brush, then comes in contact with water or exposed to chlorides from household cleaners, then the stainless steel becomes susceptible to breakage.
2. Tool hygiene
for safe care and cleaning, start with the right tools. The European Stainless Steel Development Association, or ESDA, suggests using a soft sponge and a microfiber cloth.
Do not clean with steel brushes that can make scratches. Instead, select the pads of plastic to a tough job.
3. cleaning one-way
when cleaning equipment or furniture surface of stainless steel, follow the direction of thin lines that exist on the surface. Thus, potential scratches can be minimized.
4. Material cleaners
Products containing chloride can be dangerous for protective anti-rust steel. ESDA suggest using the following cleaners:
- Vinegar diluted. This material is suitable for cleaning "crust" limestone commonly found in a kettle or a thermos heater.
- Baking soda. This material is suitable to remove the coffee grounds.
- Alcohol solvents, such as acetone to remove adhesive.
- Spray chloride-free glass. This material is efficient on surfaces such as mirrors.
Other approaches for cleaning stainless steel soak the cloth with pure white vinegar or olive oil. Then, wipe the surface of stainless steel with a one-way following the thin lines.
To clean stainless steel sink, pour soda on an absorbent cloth, then wipe it dry.
