Cleaning & Maintenance
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
How to reduce the risk of tea staining
Absence of corrosives – especially salt, chlorine, cleaning acids etc.
Atmospheric Conditions – lower temperatures and low humidity are better.
Surface orientation – Open exposure to rain washing is better
Surface Finish – In general a smoother finish is better. where practical mirror polish finish may perform better than a brushed finish.
Chemical cleanliness or passivation of the surface improves corrosion resistance
Appropriate grade selection for conditions
Regular Maintenance to limit the accumulation of corrosives
