With the proper care and maintenance, your John Boos stainless steel kitchen products will maintain their gleam and durability for years to come. But there are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to cleaning and preserving your stainless steel products.
Stainless Steel
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
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. Always clean and wipe with the polish lines of the stainless steel.
RESTORING AND POLISHING YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
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 stainless steel food preparation surfaces.
REMOVING SURFACE CORROSION, OIL, OR GREASE BUILD-UP
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.
Make sure the cleansing pad is soaked with water and remains wet.
Sprinkle the Bar Keepers Friend cleanser thoroughly 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.
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.
Using clean water, rinse the stainless steel surface immediately and wipe the stainless steel surface dry using a soft clean towel.
Spray the stainless steel surface with the stainless steel polisher to restore and polish. Then wipe the surface in the direction of the polishing lines using a soft clean towel. woo.johnboos.com
