How to clean stainless steel cutlery
Remove stains by rubbing with a cloth soaked in vinegar or lemon juice, then rinse well.
Stainless steel knives are more prone to corroding than stainless steel forks or spoons. This is because, in order to achieve a long-lasting and sharp edge, the steel used in the knife blade must be much harder than that used for other cutlery. The result is lower corrosion resistance. To keep your cutting knives in perfect condition, do not leave them submerged in water for a long time and always wash them by hand, drying them well with a kitchen towel afterwards.
