A certain degree of care is required to maintain stainless steel tableware to keep it looking new. The following tips will help you maximize the benefits of using the stainless steel tableware.

Presoak......
Prepare presoak solution with a non-abrasive presoak compound in a plastic or steel container. Place soiled (used) table ware in the solution as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. Table ware should never remain soiled overnight. The presoak time is maximum 15 minutes. This procedure loosens hardened food soils, protecting the table ware finishing and increasing the efficiency of any washing method.

Washing......
Immediately after removal from presoak solution like tableware should be washed within hot water and cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly to completely remove the cleaning solution. Dry immediately after rinsing.

When using a ware washing machine, take special care in following the machine manufactures direction.

Detarnishing.........
Build up of foreign materials such as food soils or hard water deposits can cause stainless steel table ware to develop black, blue or grey discoloration. Such build ups can usually be removed scrubbing the surface with soapy water or 1/4 vinegar and 3/4 water solution.

Storage......
Stainless steel tableware should be stored a dry area, away from corrosive materials.
