Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your stainless steel mesh.

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or grime, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface and compromise the stainless steel's protective layer.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the mesh for any signs of damage, such as tears, bends, or loose fastenings. Address any issues promptly to maintain its protective function.
• Rust Prevention: While 304 stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater environments can potentially cause surface discoloration or pitting. Clean promptly if exposed to such conditions.
