How do I remove rust from the stainless steel water fountain/water tray?

Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?

Stainless steel is armed with built-in corrosion resistance, but it can and will rust in certain conditions—although not as quickly or severely as conventional steel. Stainless steel corrodes when exposed to damaging chemicals, saline, grease, moisture, or heat for prolonged periods of time.

How To Get Rust Off Stainless Steel

  1. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda in two cups of water.
  2. Rub the baking soda solution on the rust stain using a soft cloth. Baking soda is non-abrasive and gently removes the rust stain from the stainless steel.
  3. Using a stainless steel cleaner is also recommended.
