Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does
not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less),
but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it
can corrode, pit, and discolor.
Important
Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, grill or
barbecue island owners who live near the beach need
to be diligent in maintaining their stainless steel hard-
ware. You need to clean and polish your stainless steel
frequently, apply a protectant, and ensure water does
not collect and puddle.
Periodically clean exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or Sheila
Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel until surface is
free of rust. If there is signicant rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite
scrubber.
Both of these products will act as a surface protectant and help resist
smudges, stains, and rust.
Caution
Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be ef-
fective for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical.
Because of the potential for injury or damage to your
stainless steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.
