How to care for your stainless steel kitchen utensils

Stainless steel is the usual material for kitchen utensils due to all the advantages it offers over other materials.

Utensils made of stainless steel are easier to clean because this material is very resistant to dirt, as it prevents it from adhering easily to its surface.

Steel is very resistant to corrosion; it is very resistant to environmental effects, such as air or water.

It is an extremely hygienic, very resistant and long-lasting material, which makes it ideal for use in the hospitality industry.

In addition to all this, it is a perfect material for food use.

It is very important to know how to care for your stainless steel utensils for proper maintenance. Here are some tips for this.

• Clean frequently to prevent the accumulation of hard and resistant stains.
• Do not use metallic or abrasive scourers. Plastic scourers are recommended.
• Wash them with non-abrasive products. Use mild soaps or check that your gel is suitable for this material. Preferably use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated, or chloride-free cleaners. Products containing chlorides such as salts or disinfectants, or acidic products, can damage stainless steel.
• If the tap water supplied is rich in chloride, it is recommended to treat the water or install water softeners.

To clean the most stubborn stains, we need to apply degreasers. For this type of dirt, our degreasing tanks are an ideal solution. They provide hygiene, disinfection, and eliminate bacteria. They work at a constant temperature and, together with the DK6 degreasing soap, they eliminate the most ingrained dirt from all types of kitchen utensils (filters, trays, frying pans, saucepans…).

By following these tips, you will ensure that your kitchen utensils remain in perfect condition to accompany you throughout your hospitality career!
