Well it looks like the rains are finely behind us and it's time to break out the Bar B Q. Stainless steel is a very soft metal and needs to be cleaned carefully and with the right products.
Better Bio's # 179 is a safe yet great deep cleaner for this application. It gets all of the dirt, grease and grime that has be accumulating during the last year. This also will work on your stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and especially on the stove hood.

Industry News
Many new clients have been calling me on new and older installation of limestone showers having mildew. Most of the problems are from the crack grout on the lower perimeter of the shower. You see, most stones have a tighter surface on top and the edges and are so porous that the water gets under the tiles and the raw end of the tile sucks up the water and wikes up and then allows the mold to get deep inside of the stone. This can be fixed in most cases. When ESP does a re-grouting job, we like to take the crack grout out, seal the stone especially the underside of the perimeter where the wall meets the floor and then apply new grout or a custom colored epoxy. Remember, Calking and silicone are moisture resistant but not water proof! There is a new polyurethane grout out, though the jury is not in on this one, in other words, time will tell. I have seen products come and go over my 23 years in this business. |
