Rust
Can the steel base rust?
Stainless steel does not rust. A thin layer of oxide protects the underlying metals. If any rust stains appear, they are due to ferrous impurities being, either from the water itself or deposited during on-site installation. We would recommend their immediate removal with a sponge soaked with products such as smack steel shine, rubbing in line with the direction of the satin finish. Continued contact between the steel base and such rusty particles can cause irreversible damage to the oxide layer.
Products
Which products should be used to clean the steel parts?
Normal cleaning can be done with a sponge soaked in water and soap or a neutral detergent, rubbing the surface in line with the direction of the satin finish. Avoid products that contain chlorine (muriatic acid or bleach) as these may stain or oxidise the steel irreparably.
