Cleaning and Maintenance
Stainless steel is synonym of long lasting and nice looking durability. However, it is
essential to clean these surfaces made of steel periodically in order to remove dirt.
The maintenance routines are a very useful preventive measure. The cleaning fre-
quency depends on the quality of the stainless steel, surface finish, the shape of the
piece, its use and even its environment.
Basically, every piece made of stainless steel, no matter its quality, should be clea-
ned with a cloth dampened with water only, and thereafter use a dry cloth.
For difficult stains, you will find below our suggestions.
