PROPERTIES AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF STAINLESS STEEL
300 series stainless steel contains iron, chromium, and nickel. 400 series
stainless steel contains iron and chromium. Since both series contain 70%-80%
iron, they are both capable of rusting, under certain conditions. With a
12%-30% chromium content, both 300 and 400 series stainless steel are
“passive” towards corrosion. This means an invisible film covers the steel’s
surface, creating a barrier against corrosion, causing the metal to be
stainless. This film is only millionths of an inch thick, so if the film is
broken down, or scratched, your equipment will begin to show signs of
corrosion. Chlorides that are found in household cleaners, water, food
particles (that are left behind after food preparation), and table salt can
all cause the film layer to deteriorate.
The goal is to keep this film intact by applying proper maintenance and
cleaning procedures to the stain-less steel to obtain maximum longevity of
your equip-ment.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING SURFACE CORROSION, OIL OR GREASE BUILD-UP
Pictured above is a example of residual surface corrosion. The stainless
steel surface has undergone con-siderable corrosion, resulting in the visible
red-orange rust. This pitting and cracking of stainless steel begins on a
microscopic level.
To remove surface corrosion, oil or grease build-up, use our stainless steel
care kit that contains a pack of Bar Keepers Friend cleanser, Scotch-Brite
General Purpose Hand Pad (7447), and a bottle of stainless steel polisher.
Make sure the surface area is clean of dirt and debris and follow the steps
below.
-
Step 1: Make sure the cleansing pad is soaked with water and remains wet.
-
Step 2: Sprinkle the Bar Keepers Friend cleanser throughly on the wet cleansing pad and gently rub onto the stainless steel surface in the direction of the polishing lines. Continue to add more or less cleanser until the corrosion, oil or grease is removed.
-
Step 3: If applying Bar Keepers Friend directly to the
stainless steel, make sure the surface is wet before using the cleansing pad to remove surface corrosion, oil, or grease. -
Step 4: Using clean water, rinse the stainless steel surface immediately and wipe dry the stainless steel surface using a soft clean towel.
-
Step 5: Spray the stainless steel surface using the stainless steel polisher to restore and polish. Then wipe the surface in the direction of the polishing lines using a soft clean towel.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Use the correct tools, clean water and non-chloride cleaners to wipe off dirty stainless steel surfaces. Do not allow liquids, food particles, dirt, or foreign debris to stand on the stainless steel for prolonged periods of time. Do not use chlorine bleach. If used, rinse off with water immediately and wipe off surface with a soft clean towel.
RESTORING AND POLISHING
It’s recommended to use John Boos Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish and
restore all stainless steel surfaces. The all natural formula is safe for all
food preparation surfaces.
BEFORE AFTER
Always clean and wipe with the polish lines of the stainless steel.
