STAINLESS STEEL AND GLASS BALUSTRADES
Maintenance Guideline
The stain resistance of stainless steel stems from an extremely thin but tenacious and self-repairing film which forms on the surface. This film imparts the properties of stainless steel: stain resistance, non-tainting of food, hygiene, cleanability and the aesthetic appearance that make stainless steel the ideal choice for many household products.
While Stainless steel will be unaffected by normal household use, for external balustrade installations in corrosive environments such as at beachfront properties or besides highly chlorinated swimming pools, periodic gentle cleaning will reward the owner with a product that retains its properties and appearance.
Cleaning
The best method for cleaning stainless steel is quite simply soap, or a mild detergent (such as SUNLIGHT LIQUID®) in warm water, applied with a soft cloth or synthetic sponge. Rinse in hot water and dry with a soft cloth or allow to ‘drip’ dry.
USE:
- Routine gentle cleaning
- Household cleaners showing ‘suitable for stainless steel’
- Repeated routine gentle cleaning rather than a single aggressive cleaning
DO NOT USE:
- Course abrasive powders
- Metallic scourers
- Silver or brass cleaners
