CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, but there are some very
strict cleaning and maintenance rules to be followed to prevent
damage to its appearance.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
1. Apply neutral detergents formulated for these purposes (non-
ionic surfactants and citric acid).
2. Apply the detergent with a soft cloth. Be careful with abrasive
cloths. They may scratch the surface.
3. Rinse with water until all the detergent has gone.
4. Dry the column with a soft cloth.
5. Residue from hygiene products, liquid soap, shampoos, bath
gel, etc, can also damage columns. Rinse the column with plenty
of water after use.
6. Limescale stains can be prevented by drying the column with
a soft cloth after use.

SPECIFIC CLEANING TIPS
Finger or grease marks: Persistent stains such as finger marks,
grease, etc can be removed with alcohol or acetone. Then give
it a final wash with plenty of water and neutral soap to ensure it
is thoroughly rinsed.
Limescale from mains water: Apply a solution of one part vinegar
and three parts water directly to the stains and leave to work for
a few minutes. Then rub with a soft cloth or damp sponge. Then
give it a final wash with plenty of water and neutral soap to ensure
it is thoroughly rinsed.
UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICES (LOSS OF GUARANTEE)
- Do not apply detergents with abrasive products or which con-
tain:
1.- Hydrochloric acid
2.- Sodium hypochlorite (bleach)
3.- Formic acid.
- Do not use abrasive utensils, metal scouring pads or abrasive
sponges.
- Do not spray the detergent on the column, because the liquid
can get into the openings or cracks in them and cause damage.
- Do not use anti-limescale and descaling cleaning products. They
are not suitable for cleaning stainless steel.
- Do not use silver cleaners, contain chlorides that attack stain-
less steel.
WARNING. IMPORTANT TO AVOID (LOSS OF GUARANTEE)
Bleach and descalers are often applied to bathroom equipment
neutral
and left to work for a time. This leads to the release of gases that
soft
contain chloride, which together with the water in the column
cause chlorides to run down the surface of the stainless steel.
This rusts both internal and external surfaces.
