For more than two decades, stainless steel has been a trend for appliance choice. Stainless steel is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it’s very low maintenance. Unfortunately, the name “stainless” steel may be a tad misleading because, in fact, steel will rust. Dirt, grease, fingerprints and other can make steel prone to rusting.
