Stainless steel plate, if not used or maintained properly, will incur floating rusts or yellow spots on the surface. Here are some tips on how to take care of the stainless steel plate.

A clean stainless steel plate

1. If stainless steel plate has something like spalls, cement, oil, lime, putty, sand and other products attached to the surface, it should be cleaned up in time; otherwise it will produce rust or mildew after some time.

2. Water quality varies with areas and even the transportation mediums. For instance, the water transported through the galvanized pipe is likely to contain iron which, if left on the stainless steel surface without cleaning, will produce the floating rust easily.

3. The mineral materials, acid, or alkaline dusts in the newly decorated house, if falling on the surface of the stainless steel plate without timely cleanup, will produce floating rust easily.

4. Stainless steel surface, if exposed to pig iron or the like for a long time, will also incur floating rust, mildew or discoloration.

5. If chemical agents, cleaning agents, paints, sauces, oil, pesticides or other chemicals are left on the surface for a long time, the stainless steel products will get mildew or rust.

6. When it comes to processing and installing stainless steel products, residuals or water stains left on the surface of the stainless steel plate should be cleaned by cotton cloth dipped in the clean water after installing and use.

7. Please do not use wire ball or hard material to brush the stainless steel surface when in use or in maintenance. If external erosion causes floating rusts or yellow spots on the surface, it is advisable to use wet cotton dipped with old toothpaste to clean it up. Following that, use cotton dipped with transformer oil or sewing machine oil applying to the stainless steel surface so as to recreate a protection layer against secondary erosion.
