Do you love your stainless steel but hate the smudges, fingerprints and rust?
We love our stainless steel appliances, but it can be so frustrating when stainless steel is constantly covered in fingerprints and smudges. Stainless steel refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves and even stainless sinks need protection. Use on both indoor and outdoor kitchen appliances to protect them.
Keep stainless steel appliances inside and outside of your home looking like the first day you bought them. Stop rust and corrosion on your outdoor kitchen appliances. You can even restore older stainless appliances to look new again!

First, make sure your appliance is Real Stainless Steel
CrobialCoat is formulated to protect real stainless steel or brushed steel appliances. There are some appliances made of faux stainless steel. They are called "lookalike" stainless and are made from metal covered with a plastic film that can look like stainless but is not real stainless steel. These finishes usually go by names such as meteorite or slate. CrobialCoat will protect real metal but plastic film cannot stand up to solvents. If you are getting fingerprints on the metal, chances are that you have real stainless steel.
​
You can check with the retailer where you purchased your appliance to make sure they are REAL stainless steel. Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowes and other appliance retailers should be able to tell you if your appliance is stainless steel or a lookalike. You also may be able to check the websites of the manufacturers: LG, Whirlpool, Samsung, Frigidaire, GE, Amana and others to see if your model number has real stainless.
How to Protect your New Stainless Steel Appliances

Remove the plastic protective film by peeling it off.

Clean the stainless steel by washing with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Dish soap works well.

Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
-
Wipe with a clean solvent. This will ensure a completely clean and dry surface.

Have peace of mind knowing that CrobialCoat anti-microbial coating is helping to prevent the buildup of bacteria and germs keeping your appliance 99% cleaner.
Lab studies have proven CrobialCoat to significantly reduce the growth of microbes and help surfaces stay 99% cleaner than unprotected surfaces. This effectiveness will last the life of the coating, as Antimicrobial technology is built into the coating and will not wash off.
​
Unprotected surfaces can breed odor-causing bacteria, which can double in number every 20 minutes. This can cause the development of stains, unpleasant odors and bacteria which impacts the aesthetics, durability and cleanliness of a surface. In many circumstances, once microbes have begun to proliferate on a surface, constant cleaning is required to keep growth under control. Constant cleaning may not be the most reasonable or economic solution. CrobialCoat® is the solution for durable corrosion and microbial protection.

Recognizing that the ability to clean constantly is unreasonable in most environments, the best weapon against microbial growth is antimicrobial coating with built-in protection.

Customer Reviews for Stainless Appliances
CrobialCoat was easy to apply. I cleaned the front of my dishwasher and wiped it on. It made the stainless steel look great and no more fingerprints. The best thing is that now I know the surface is clean and has antimicrobial on it and my grandson can touch all he wants. I will buy more for other appliances!!! Teresa S.
