To optimally care for your polished steel storage pot and prevent rust, please follow these steps: - Cleaning: Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Then clean the pot with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid steel wool or harsh, acidic cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
- Drying: After cleaning, dry the metal immediately and thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent limescale deposits and corrosion caused by residual moisture.
- Preservation and shine: To maintain the shine and protect the material, regularly treat the surface with a special wax or oil (e.g., Ballistol or a food-safe care oil). This creates a protective layer against oxygen and moisture.
- Polishing: If necessary, you can use special polishing pastes or home remedies such as a mixture of vinegar, flour, and salt to restore the surface's shine.
