Stainless steel is widely used in profiles and wraps for a wide range of door control equipment due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and modern and aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, stainless steel surfaces are prone to fingerprints, water stains, and grease, so regular cleaning is an important part of maintaining its shine and extending its lifespan.
Daily cleaning. 1.Use a soft cloth: Gently wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft microfiber cloth or wool cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. A clean cotton cloth can be used, but make sure the cloth is free of rough fibers to prevent scratching the stainless steel surface.
2.Warm water and neutral detergent: For general stains, warm water and neutral detergent can be used for cleaning. Add a small amount of detergent to the water, gently scrub the surface with a soft cloth dipped in the solution, then rinse with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.
3.Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use stain remover powders, steel wool balls, or rough brushes that contain abrasive particles to clean stainless steel, as these tools may scratch the surface.
Deep cleaning. 1.Mixture of white vinegar and water: For more stubborn stains, a mixture of white vinegar and water (in a ratio of about 1:1) can be used to clean. White vinegar is a natural cleanser that is effective in removing water stains and fingerprints.
2.Lemon juice: Lemon juice is also a natural cleanser that can be used to remove grease and grill marks. Apply lemon juice to the stain and let it work for a while before wiping it off with a damp cloth.
3.Soda: If there is burnt food residue on the surface of the stainless steel, you can use sparkling water (a mixture of baking soda and water) to clean it. Apply the mixture to the stain and wait a few moments before wiping with a damp cloth.
Special stain treatment.
1.Grease: For grease stains, use a dishwashing liquid that does not contain bleach. Apply the dishwashing liquid directly to the stain, gently wipe with a damp cloth, and rinse off with water.
2.Fingerprints and water stains: For fingerprints and water stains, you can use a special stainless steel cleaner or a glass cleaner. Spray onto the surface, gently wipe with a soft cloth, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
Precautionary measures. 1.Regular maintenance: Regular use of stainless steel special maintenance agents or polishes can help maintain the shine of the stainless steel surface and reduce the difficulty of cleaning in the future.
2.Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture: Prolonged exposure to moisture may cause rust or stains on the surface of stainless steel. It should be wiped dry promptly after use.
3.Avoid using chlorine-containing cleaners: Chlorine-containing cleaners may corrode stainless steel surfaces and should be avoided as much as possible.
Precautions. Before using any cleaning agent, do a small area test in an inconspicuous area to ensure that the stainless steel surface is not damaged.
After cleaning, be sure to rinse off any detergent residue with clean water and dry it with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water stains.
If there are stains or scratches that are difficult to deal with, it is recommended to contact a professional cleaning service or technical support provided by the manufacturer.
