How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Table

A stainless steel table is a durable surface for serving, cutting or handling food, and is a low-maintenance piece of furniture due to its resistant metal surface. Although stainless steel isn't likely to corrode, it is still susceptible to scratches and dulling if the improper cleaning products are used to wash the surface. A mild cleaning solution such as dishwashing liquid is ideal for cleaning the surface, while a stainless steel cleaner maintains the table's shine whenever needed.
