| Wash new stainless by hand for the first few weeks of use. After the stainless is seasoned in the washing process, the dishwasher can be used. Always pre-rinse your flatware. Do not let it soak for long periods of time, extended soaking can cause water damage to the finish. When using a dishwasher for cleaning, keep the following in mind: *Use a mild detergent, do not use lemon scented detergent. *Never use more than 1 level teaspoon of detergent. *Position flatware with handles down and do not crowd. *Use the gentle dry or energy saver dry cycle. *Do not mix stainless, sterling and silverplate in the same wash. The prolonged exposure on stainless of certain types of food, such as mayonnaise, eggs, salt or vinegar can permanentaly stain and damage the product. If rust appears, you are generally using too much detergent. The water bead is saturated with detergent, and through the heat cycle, the water evaporates, leaving the detergent baked on the surface in the form of fatty acids. To clean rust spots, use a good all purpose metal polish cleaner and rub vigorously. The rings should disappear. If there was any pitting, the marks will be permanent. Stainless does not need polishing. If you would like to bring back some of the original luster of the item, you can use a stainless steel cleaning agent. This product can be particularly beneficial in cleaning knife blades. Never use any type of abrasive cleaner or coarse type material in cleaning stainless, especially items with a high polish finish. |
