Balustrade Maintenance Guide

Keeping your stainless steel and glass balustrades in top condition ensures they stay beautiful, safe, and long-lasting. With just a little care, your investment will look as good as new for years to come.

Regular Cleaning
- Stainless Steel:
  - Wipe down with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  - Rinse with clean water to remove any residue.
  - Dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
- Glass Panels:
  - Use a glass cleaner or a mix of water and vinegar.
  - Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
Tip: Clean at least once a month, or more often in coastal or high-pollution areas.
Protect Against Rust & Stains
- Stainless steel is resistant but not immune to surface rust, especially outdoors or near the ocean.
- Use Autosol Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to remove minor rust spots, stains, and to restore shine.
- Apply Autosol Stainless Steel Protective Spray every 3–6 months to create a protective layer against salt, moisture, and dirt.
- Quickly wipe away any salt, chlorine, or chemical spills to avoid staining.
Check for Loose Fittings
- Every few months, inspect handrails, brackets, and fasteners.
- Tighten any loose screws or fittings with the correct tools.
- If you notice damage or wear, replace the part immediately to ensure safety.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
- Do not use bleach, hydrochloric acid, or abrasive cleaners.
- Stick to pH-neutral cleaners, or trusted products like Autosol, designed specifically for stainless steel.
Seasonal Deep Clean
- Once or twice a year, give your balustrades a full clean:
  - Wash down all stainless steel and glass surfaces.
  - Check for scratches, corrosion spots, or glass chips.
  - Reapply Autosol Stainless Steel Protective Spray to maintain a long-lasting finish.
Safety First
- Never climb, lean heavy objects, or hang items on your balustrades.
- Regular care keeps them both safe and stylish for everyday use.
