1. In most cases staining of stainless steel is due to something being deposited on the steel rather than an attack on the material itself The most common cause of staining is the build up of a thin film of waterborne deposits on the sink surface often first seen as a rainbow effect The build up of such a film can be avoided by drying the surface of the sink after use Should such a film appear apply proprietary cream cleaner or stainless steel sink cleaner neat and rub vigorously with a damp cloth along the length of the sink surface After cleaning rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry Wire wool products and ferrous water supply pipes can leave minute ferrous particles adhered to the sink surface Since stainless steel under normal conditions does not rust these particles can cause the appearance of small brown rust stains These stains can be removed using the procedure described above Caution Certain household products contain substances that will attack the stainless steel surface They are 1 Bleaches Most common domestic bleaches contain Chlorine in the form of a hypochlorite Chlorine attacks the microscopic Chromium Oxide film on the surface and can cause pitting of the surface Bleaches should always be used in the prescribed strength specified by the manufacturers Undiluted bleaches can cause pitting and staining of the surface and should be immediately rinsed off with plenty of clean water All cleaning ag2.
