- Covering your barbecue will reduce exposure to water and reduce surface rust
- If you do see rust spots, usually this is surface rust from a build up of dirt or salt in the air
- On stainless steel barbecues, clean off surface rust spots using a specialised stainless steel cleaner and follow the manufacturer's directions
- Always rub stainless steel in the same direction as the grain
- On stainless steel do NOT use steel wool or steel scraping tools, scourers for ordinary steel, bleach or acid based cleaners
- Deeper rust can be repaired but you will need expert advice
- Apply stainless steel polish to protect, shine and repel finger prints
