CLEANING
Daily Cleaning: Wipe your stainless steel items with a soft cloth and warm water. For best results, use a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the surface. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Mild Detergent: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent or dish soap mixed with warm water. Apply the solution with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as they can scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. Stick to non-abrasive cleaning tools.
Fingerprint Removal: For removing fingerprints and smudges, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, or a specially formulated stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain for the best results.

POLISHING
Stainless Steel Polish - To maintain the shine of your stainless steel, use a stainless steel polish or a mixture of olive oil and vinegar. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and rub in the direction of the grain. Buff with a clean, dry cloth to a shiny finish.
Homemade Polish - You can also use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply it with a soft cloth, rub gently, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.

STAIN AND RUST REMOVAL
Baking Soda Paste - For minor stains and rust spots, use a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply it to the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Vinegar Solution - For tougher stains, use a solution of white vinegar and water. Spray it onto the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

PREVENTIVE CARE
Avoid Chlorides - Keep stainless steel away from chloride-containing solutions (like bleach) as they can cause corrosion and staining.
Temperature Control - Avoid exposing stainless steel to extreme temperatures. Do not place hot cookware directly onto a stainless steel surface as it can cause discoloration and damage.
Regular Maintenance - Regularly clean and polish your stainless steel items to maintain their appearance and prevent build-up of dirt and grime.

DISHWASHER USE
Check for Dishwasher Compatibility - Before placing your stainless steel items in the dishwasher, check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure they are dishwasher-friendly. Some stainless steel products may be suitable for dishwasher use, but others might be damaged by the harsh detergents and high temperatures used in dishwashers.
Dishwasher Instructions - If the product is dishwasher-safe, place it on the top rack to avoid direct contact with heating elements. Use a mild detergent and avoid overcrowding the dishwasher to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent scratches.

By following these care instructions, your stainless steel products will retain their aesthetic appeal and functionality for a long time.
