After the stainless steel plate is corroded, it usually needs to be cleaned and treated to restore its original color and gloss. Here are some common methods and steps:
1. Clean the surface
Use a neutral detergent: Use warm water and a neutral detergent with a soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface to remove dirt and grease.
Use a brush or soft brush: For more stubborn stains, you can gently scrub with a soft brush, and avoid using a wire brush to avoid scratching the surface.
2. Remove oxides and rust
Use a stainless steel special cleaner: Choose a stainless steel cleaner on the market and follow the instructions in the manual. It can usually effectively remove oxides and rust.
White vinegar or lemon juice: Acidic substances can help remove minor rust and stains. You can apply white vinegar or lemon juice on the rust, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe it clean.
3. Polishing
Stainless steel polishing paste: Use stainless steel polishing paste, apply it to the surface, and wipe it in a circular motion with a clean soft cloth to restore the gloss.
Sandpaper: For more serious scratches, you can use fine sandpaper to gently polish the surface, but be careful to apply force evenly to avoid creating new scratches.
4. Coating protection
Rust inhibitor: After cleaning and polishing, you can consider applying a rust inhibitor or stainless steel protector to prevent future corrosion and dirt accumulation.
5. Regular maintenance
Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the stainless steel surface with warm water and neutral detergent to keep it clean and shiny.
