  Daily sanitation and hygiene management

1 Use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Cleaning agent choice: Preference for warm water and neutral detergents (such as dishwashing liquid or mild soapy water) as cleaning agents. Avoid cleaners containing strong acids, alkalis, chloride ions or bleach, which may damage the surface of stainless steel.
Fabric selection: Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe, avoid using rough or hard cloth, so as not to scratch the stainless steel surface.
2. Wipe technique
Wipe along the grain: When wiping the stainless steel surface, try to follow its grain, which can reduce the generation of scratches and maintain the surface gloss.
Gentle wiping: do not exert too much force, so as not to cause unnecessary wear on the stainless steel surface. For stubborn stains, you can slightly increase the wiping force, but it should also be kept moderate.
3. Clean regularly
Daily cleaning: After daily use, wipe the stainless steel surface with a wet cloth in time to remove food residue, water stains and other stains. This helps prevent stains from staying on the surface for a long time, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
Comprehensive cleaning: Weekly or monthly comprehensive cleaning, using a mild cleaner and a soft cloth to thoroughly wipe the stainless steel surface, especially the corners and gaps. This helps remove accumulated dirt and bacteria and keeps the stainless steel hygienic and beautiful.
4. Treat special stains
Fingerprints and oil stains: For fingerprints and oil stains on the surface of stainless steel, you can use a mild detergent or white vinegar (diluted with water at a ratio of 1:2) to clean. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, then gently wipe the stain, and finally rinse with water and dry.
Rust: If rust is found on the surface of stainless steel, it should be treated immediately with a special stainless steel rust remover. After following product instructions, rinse well with water and dry. Note that the removal of rust may take some time and patience.
5. Dry treatment
Dry off: Clean stainless steel

Anti-rust treatment of stainless steel

Main anti-rust treatment methods
Surface treatment
Physical polishing: Through artificial polishing, shot blasting, sandblasting, grinding, magnetic polishing and other methods, the stainless steel surface is treated into a specific state to remove the roughness and microscopic roughness of the surface, thereby reducing the starting point of corrosion. This method can improve the finish and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface.
Passivation method: Add a film on the surface of stainless steel to prevent corrosion of the metal surface. Passivation is divided into acid passivation and alkaline passivation, the main treatment methods include pickling, active oxygen washing, water washing, electrochemical method, hydrothermal method and so on. After passivation treatment, the surface of the stainless steel will form a dense oxide film, thereby improving its corrosion resistance.
Electrolysis: A protective film is formed on the surface of stainless steel through electrolysis to prevent corrosion of the metal surface. The main treatment methods are electrolytic polishing, arc evaporation, electrochemical oxidation and so on. This method can form a uniform and dense protective film and improve the anti-rust performance of stainless steel.
Coating with anti-rust agent: A layer of anti-rust agent is coated on the surface of stainless steel to prevent corrosion of the metal surface. Rust prevention agents can be thermosetting coatings, plastic coatings, inorganic coatings, organic coatings, etc. These coatings can form a protective barrier to prevent contact between stainless steel and corrosive media, thereby preventing rust.

Environmental control

Keep clean: Avoid contact with chemicals such as acid, alkali and salt to prevent corrosion on the surface of stainless steel. At the same time, the stainless steel surface should be cleaned frequently to remove dirt and impurities and maintain its finish.
Avoid scratches: Be careful to avoid scratches or wear on the stainless steel surface during use, so as not to destroy its protective film. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to prevent being scratched by hard objects when storing.
Storage environment: The storage environment of stainless steel should be kept dry, well ventilated, and avoid damp and dark environments to reduce the risk of rust.
Regular maintenance
For long-term use of Stainless Steel Products, regular maintenance is required. Its surface can be coated with a special stainless steel cleaner or anti-rust agent to enhance its anti-rust performance.

Precautions for anti-rust treatment
Avoid using cleaners or disinfectants containing chloride ions to clean the surface of stainless steel, so as not to destroy the surface oxide film.
Try to avoid leaving water stains or water marks on the surface of stainless steel to avoid the formation of electrochemical corrosion.
For stainless steel products that are not used for a long time, they should be cleaned and maintained regularly to maintain the cleanliness and gloss of their surfaces.

Stainless steel storage and maintenance

Environmental selection
The site or warehouse for storing stainless steel should be selected in a clean and unobstructed place, away from factories and mines that produce harmful gases or dust.
The warehouse should remove weeds and all debris, keep the steel clean, and avoid the erosion of stainless steel by dust, oil and other pollutants.
Material isolation
Stainless steel materials should be stored on wooden or painted steel shelves or rubber pads, avoiding direct contact with the ground to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Stainless steel should be stored separately from other steels to prevent dust, oil and rust from corroding its surface.
Classified storage
Different varieties of stainless steel pipes should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and mutual corrosion.
When stacking, it is required to be stable and safe, and a certain channel is left for easy inspection and transportation.
Moisture-proof measure
The warehouse storing stainless steel should have moisture-proof facilities, and pay attention to closing moisture-proof in rainy days to maintain a suitable storage environment.
For stainless steel materials stacked in the open air, measures such as cushion height and covering should be taken to prevent rain soaking and water accumulation.
