Metal aprons impress with their resistance to damage. However, they also need regular cleaning so that ugly stains do not remain on the surface. First, try rinsing off the stain with clean water. Stubborn stains should be treated with soapy water, baking soda or vinegar. After cleaning, rinse the surface with water and wipe dry to ensure it always looks good.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Regular stains

1. 1 Determine the direction of the metal particles. Take a closer look at the metal apron. On its surface, the metal texture can be located in a certain direction, for example, across. If the texture is very noticeable, then always wash the apron in the direction of the particles. This prevents scratches on the surface.
2. 2 Soak a microfiber cloth in warm water. Use a microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Metal brushes and scouring pads can scratch your apron, so don't use such materials. With regular cleaning with warm water, the surface of the apron will almost always remain clean. Do not use hot water.
   • For extra effectiveness, you can add one to two drops of a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid or chlorine-free detergent, to warm water.
3. 3 Remove stains with a tissue. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the apron. Work in circular motions along the terrain. As a rule, fresh stains are easy to clean. Older dirt may require deeper cleaning.
   • Never use metal brushes or scouring pads to avoid scratching the apron.
4. 4 Dry the apron with a clean cloth. Take a dry cloth and scoop up the water from the surface. The metal apron is resistant to damage, but hard water can weaken the material. Do not leave the surface wet. Wipe the apron dry with a tissue.

Method 2 of 3: Stubborn Contamination

1. 1 Prepare a solution of baking soda and warm water. Mix 200 grams of baking soda and a glass of warm water. Stir to make a paste.
2. 2 Apply the paste to the stain and leave to dry. Apply the paste to the stain with a tissue or sponge. Wait for the paste to dry. Take a clean, dry cloth and wipe the paste off the apron. Make sure the stain is gone.
3. 3 Prepare a solution of water and vinegar. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water. Pour into a container with a spray to evenly apply the required amount of solution to contaminants.
4. 4 Let the vinegar solution sit for five minutes. Spray the solution over the stain. Five minutes later, the vinegar solution can be washed off.
5. 5 Collect the vinegar with a damp cloth. Soak a soft cloth in warm water, then work the stain against the texture of the metal. Collect all the vinegar.
6. 6 Dry the apron with a clean cloth. Collect water from the surface with a clean cloth. The apron must be kept dry so that the water does not destroy the metal.

Method 3 of 3: Caring for your metal apron

1. 1 Remove stains immediately. Use paper towels to remove grease and food debris. If you get rid of the dirt right away, the stain will not dry on the surface. Over time, acidic foods like tomato sauce and lemon juice can damage the metal, so it's best not to hesitate.
2. 2 Remove fingerprints with glass cleaner. Choose a chlorine-free cleaner or a multi-purpose window cleaner. Use it between surface cleanings to remove minor smudges like prints. Spray the liquid onto the metal surface of the apron. Remove stains with a tissue and scoop up excess liquid or wait for it to dry.
3. 3 Polish the metal with olive oil. Dab a tablespoon of olive oil on a napkin to add extra shine to the metal. Polish the apron for a few minutes along the texture of the metal. Leave the oil on to protect the apron from stains for several weeks.
   • You can also use a special polish for metal, but olive oil will not be inferior in efficiency, but it will cost less. Also try using baby oil.

Tips

• Remove stains along the metal texture. Thanks to this, small scratches will not appear on the surface, in which bacteria are retained.
• Do not clean the metal apron with a stiff washcloth or wire brush. Use only soft sponges or microfiber cloths.
