Removing Stains From a Viking Gas Stainless Steel Cooktop

Viking manufactures a variety of stainless steel gas cooktops for home and professional use. Stainless steel provides a clean, modern look and resists rust and corrosion. However, stains can occur in certain cases, such as food spilling or splattering onto a hot cooktop. Also, acidic foods and cleaning products can discolor stainless steel cooktops. Prompt cleaning and monthly polishing can keep your Viking stainless steel cooktop looking newer for longer.
