• Why Is Stainless Steel Cleaning Important?
• Stainless steel is sufficiently resistant to heat, corrosion and stains. When interacting with oxygen in the air, it forms a protective film containing chromium. This protection prevents rust and stubborn stains. But if the steel surface is covered with dirt, this reaction may not occur. As a result, the steel becomes vulnerable and may be subject to corrosion or wear.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces with Baking Soda
The method of removing dirt from surfaces using baking soda is one of the simplest and most effective methods. Baking soda, which you can easily find everywhere, is especially ideal for removing oily stains.
Equipment to be cleaned should be thoroughly washed before using baking soda. Then it should be dried and sprinkled with baking soda liberally on the entire surface and the powder should be thickened with some water. Stainless steel, which is left for a few hours in this way, should be wiped thoroughly with a dry cloth or sponge.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces with Detergent
In the case of stainless steel, it is recommended to give preference to detergents with a mild composition. You can choose formulas specially developed to remove difficult stains such as burns. Wash the item with a stainless steel surface that needs to be done with hot water and leave the detergent on the surface for 10-15 minutes. Then clean the dirt with a sponge.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces by Heating Method
If the stains cannot be removed with baking soda and detergent, you can get rid of the stains by applying heat. This method is often used for pots and pans. To get rid of stains by applying heat, fill the pot with enough water to cover the burned areas and heat until it boils. After the water starts to boil, turn off the stove and add a few tablespoons of salt to the water and let it sit for a few hours. Then drain the water and try to remove the stains with a soft sponge.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces with Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Vinegar is commonly used to clean stainless steel products. Soak the product in vinegar for 10-15 minutes, then wash with detergent as usual. As an alternative to vinegar, lemon juice can also be used. One tablespoon of lemon juice is required for one glass of water. Wipe the products with the required amount of prepared solution and rinse under water.

• Constantly using harsh chemicals
