How Can Your Stainless Steel Sink Rust?
As we all know, stainless steel sink is a type of sink that is commonly used in kitchens. Stainless steel sink is highly favored by general consumers, mostly because it has the good feature of anti-rust. However, many people are complaining that their stainless steel sinks and even 304 stainless steel sinks are rusting. How can a stainless steel sink go rust? As far as I’m concerned, the reasons that caused the rust on your stainless steel sinks may be concluded into three categories below.
Your stainless steel sink may be fake
Stainless steel sink has been popular for the kitchen sink for a long time. In the market, all kinds of stainless steel sinks of various materials emerge in an endless stream. Materials such as 201 and 202 were used before. Nowadays, the most popular material for stainless steel sinks is the material 304. This kind of material is much more expensive than 202 and 202. Many bad merchants grasped the opportunity and replaced genuine stainless steel sinks with fake ones. Therefore, counterfeiting 304 stainless steel sinks appeared in the market. If your stainless steel went rust, it’s possible that you have purchased the fake one.
Misconducts of the stainless steel sink during decoration or renovation
This is another reason that will cause rust on your stainless steel sink. In the process of decoration, you may use objects that contain certain chemicals that are acidic or alkaline. These chemicals will eventually lead to rust spots on the surface of stainless steel sink if they are not cleaned timely.
Daily improper usage or maintenance of the stainless steel sink
Daily proper usage and maintenance of your stainless steel sink plays a crucial role in deciding whether it will go rust or not. Corrosive objects and liquids, for example, lemon juice, are poured into the sink and are not cleaned timely. In the case of water and oxygen, it forms organic acid. After a long time, the corrosion of organic acid on the metal surface will produce rust spots, because it destroys the protective film on the surface of stainless steel.
