When it’s time to clean restaurant equipment more often than not people don’t use the correct cleaners or solvents for the job. Using abrasive, chlorine based cleaners can cause serious damage to equipment. Here’s a a few tips to ensure cleanliness while also avoiding premature deterioration of your stainless steel equipment!

TREAT HARD WATER IF POSSIBLE: Softening hard water will reduce deposits that can be corrosive. 5. RINSE, RINSE, RINSE: Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately. ***AVOID USING: STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES AND SCRAPERS***
WHEN CLEANING VINYL CLAD, GALVANIZED, AND ALUMINUM SURFACES: Use soap and warm water to clean these sensitive surfaces.
