CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL & GENERAL PRODUCT CARE
To keep your Outdoor Bar free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to take additional
precautions under certain conditions.
If your Outdoor Bar is located in corrosive conditions, such as:
• A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present
• Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or
chlorinated water
• Areas where muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or other corrosive cleaning solutions are used to clean
concrete and masonry
• Areas where corrosive masonry dust and debris are created by cutting stone or mixing cements
These conditions can create a highly corrosive environment that will cause the corrosions resistant type 304
stainless steel to develop surface oxidation, corrosion or rust.
TWIN EAGLES products have been tested in saline solutions, highly chlorinated solutions and have been tested
against exposure to highly acidic foods. The test results proved the type 304 stainless steel can withstand
exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the conditions outlined above, along with neglect, can lead
to surface corrosion or rust.
ATTENTION:
• Do not allow food particles or grease to be left on the bar top. These can attract rodents, which are
unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage.
• Specks of grease or dirty can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on if left in the
sun for an extended period of time. These can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad with a stainless
steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel
wool to clean any surfaces on the Outdoor Bar.
• In the event that surface corrosion has developed on the stainless steel, it is typically not the stainless
steel that is corroding but corrosive particles that have been deposited on the surface.
WARNING:
It is recommended that your TWIN EAGLES products be kept dry and covered when not in use. This is even
more important when long-term storage is intended.
If you are located along the coast or in the desert, wind driven sand is extremely abrasive and can pit and
scratch the stainless steel. Keep your TWIN EAGLES products covered when not in use.
