Maintenance
The proper maintenance of stainless steel requires frequency and the use of proven techniques. Protect from corrosion and preserve the aesthetic qualities by employing regular cleaning. Stainless steel is not a single alloy but an iron-based alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium. Elements are added to enhance the heat resistance, fabricating characteristics, and mechanical properties, but depending on how it is used the steel is also exposed to environmental degradation. The various types of stainless steel require varying degrees and approaches to maintenance.
Depending on the kind of environment of the metal or its function, it may encounter conditions that create problems for the metal.
General Cleaning
Frequent cleaning of your metal applications will avoid build-up or corrosion. Our services include a general cleaning using specialized detergents, cleansers, or chemicals that maintains the optimal performance of your metal without scratching it.
Removing Stains and Scratches
If your stainless steel is showcasing stains and scratches, using special solvent solutions helps remove various types of stains, oils, and greases. Non-abrasive material is needed to ensure the metal is not scratched during the cleaning process.
Tea Staining and Rust
Tea staining is a visual discoloration of the metal surface as a result of water high in chlorides or other exposure. Steel is made to be corrosive and rust-proof but inevitably experiences corrosion if exposed to specific conditions or environments. The result is unsightly staining of the metal that worsens over time and affects the steel’s strength and durability.
Why Stainless Steel Maintenance Matters
Regardless of your application or industry, the durability and aesthetic maintenance of your steel products are likely a high priority. It is not always easy or inexpensive to replace stainless steel parts of components, so keeping them in optimal condition is the ideal metal to extend their shelf life. The good news is that stainless steel is robust and versatile, all it takes is consistent maintenance, proper cleaning, and the right techniques, tools, and cleaners. That’s where we come in!
