Certain cleaning products and habits can weaken or remove its protective layer, which helps prevent rust and corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid these common mistakes when cleaning stainless steel surfaces:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Using abrasive scrubbers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as steel wool or scouring powders.

This often leaves water spots or cloudy streaks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Leaving salty or acidic spills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (such as soy sauce, vinegar, or bleach splashes) on the surface for too long. These substances can slowly corrode the metal.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Trapping moisture under objects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as magnets, dish racks, or rubber mats. Over time, this can lead to pitting or rust spots.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the protective layer is damaged, stainless steel may develop permanent stains, discolouration, or corrosion. These issues are much harder to repair at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does dishwasher soap damage stainless steel?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dishwasher detergent is designed to remove heavy grease, so it can be too harsh for stainless steel surfaces if used incorrectly. For cookware and utensils, it is usually safe in a dishwasher when used as directed and rinsed properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems may occur when:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concentrated detergent sits on stainless steel too long, which can leave residue or dull the finish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dishwasher powder or tablets are used directly on appliances like a hob, fridge, or sink. These are stronger than regular dish soap.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Items remain in a damp dishwasher after the cycle, trapping moisture and detergent residue.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cleaning stainless steel appliances by hand, use mild dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent, then rinse and dry the surface thoroughly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to clean stainless steel appliances for that long-lasting shine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning stainless steel appliances becomes much easier to live with once you get into the habit.
