Stainless steel is very easy to clean.
Mixing a gentle detergent or domestic soap with warm water and wiping over the installation with a soft microfiber cloth, should be adequate. Take a dry microfiber cloth and gently wipe the installation dry. We recommend that you apply Autosol chrome polish to your new product in accordance with the instructions on the tube.
For those instances where your products have not been looked after and may have deteriorated, we suggest the following methods in the table below. We suggest the Autosol Metal Care Kit to be used in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.
