Care & Maintenance of Polished Stainless Steel

Introduction
Polished stainless steel, particularly marine grade, is resistant to rust but can suffer from surface discoloration due to contamination from iron or steel items during installation or use. Regular maintenance is essential to preserve its appearance and corrosion resistance.

Causes of Discoloration

Contamination from tools like screwdrivers and drill bits.
Trapped water in joints, cracks, or crevices.
Inadequate sealing of fittings, leading to rust stains.

Cleaning Procedures

Regular washing with water and washing-up liquid is usually sufficient.
For persistent discoloration, use a household cream cleaner or proprietary chrome cleaner like Autosol or Peek.

Do's and Don'ts

Do: Clean stainless steel regularly, use metal polish for heavier staining, ensure fittings are adequately sealed.
Don't: Use wire wool, scratch or abrade the surface, use scouring pads, mix stainless steel with iron, steel, or galvanized items.

By following these guidelines, the polished stainless steel will maintain its appearance for many years.
