Frequently Asked Questions 

Stainless Steel Materials, Product Safety and Benefits

Q: Why choose stainless steel products over other materials?
A: Stainless steel products are durable, eco-friendly, hygienic, without toxins, and only require minimal maintenance. They are safe for serving foods and for use in the oven, refrigerator and freezer. With its great variety of shapes, finishes and textures, stainless steel presents many choices for the customer. Longer-lasting beauty, better value, and lower total costs than products made of other materials are hallmarks of stainless steel.

Q: Are StainlessLUX products safe for food and drink? Are they free of BPA, lead and toxins?
A:
Yes, StainlessLUX products are safe for food and drink. They are made of the U.S. FDA-approved food-grade stainless steel. They also are free of toxins. They have no Bisphenol A (BPA), no phthalates, no mercury, no cadmium, and no lead. Stainless steel has a hygienic, nonporous surface that inhibits growth of bacteria, mold and mildew. The non-stainless material (Globalene 6331 - Polypropylene Homopolymer) used in our mug handles and bases also is safe for use in direct contact with food. Only materials of the highest quality and safety are procured and used in our fine StainlessLUX products.

Q: What does it mean by “double-walled”? What is its benefit?
A:
Double-walled products are made with two layers of stainless steel with an air gap in between the two layers.  The double-walled feature helps to keep drinks or foods hot or cold longer than a similar size and shape single-walled model. The double wall also enables you to hold hot drinks comfortably and minimize the condensation on cold drinks.

Q: Are StainlessLUX products eco-friendly?
A:
Yes, stainless steel is recycled more than paper or glass. Some research shows that current stainless steel is made of 60% to 90% recycled stainless steel, without degradation in quality. It is reusable and recyclable.  Because stainless steel is strong, durable and resists corrosion, its longer useful life means less waste and a smaller eco-footprint.

Q: I scratched my StainlessLUX piece. Is it still safe to use?
A:
For a minor scratch, you can simply wash it clean and then continue to use it as usual. Metal particles should not leach or get into your food because stainless steel naturally has a very thin, transparent layer on its surface that provides nonporous protection. Oxygen in the air or water activates this unique layer to repair lightly scratched or damaged surfaces. This self-healing feature makes stainless steel kitchenware food-safe and useful for many years.


Proper Use and Care

Q: How do I care for and clean my StainlessLUX products?
A:
For best results, use a non-scratching pad and clean with a mild biodegradable detergent, baking soda or vinegar diluted in water. Then rinse in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If you choose to use a dishwasher for convenience, keep in mind that chemicals in water combined with high heat can potentially cause wear and cosmetic marks on its fine finish.

Q: How do I remove coffee and tea stains from my stainless steel mugs?
A:
Removing mild coffee and tea stains can be as simple as mixing granulated sugar with drops of water, vinegar, or lemon juice and then rubbing away the stains. 

Q: Why would rust appear on my stainless steel product?
A:
Stainless steel products naturally have an invisible built-in shield to make them highly resistant to corrosion. If dirt, acid, or foreign particles are left to adhere to the stainless surface for an extended period of time, rust and damage to the stainless steel protective surface can occur. The good news is that the protective film can be restored after the rusty part is removed. You can clean off the rust by soaking the item in baking soda and then applying a paste of cream of tartar and lemon juice. 

Q: How to properly use my stainless steel candleholder?
A:
To enjoy your stainless steel candleholders safely and to prevent fire, injury and smoke damage, follow these simple instructions:

  • Remove nonwoven pouch and wrapper before use.
  • Trim wick to ¼” and set up candle properly before lighting or relighting.
  • Candle should stand firmly and straight in the candleholder. If necessary, adhere a candle button to the base of the candle to prevent tilting.
  • Burn candle only on a stable heat-resistant surface.
  • Candle may drip. Clear drip plate of wax or debris before reuse to avoid drip overflow.
  • Do not move candlestick while its candle is burning or while wax is in a liquid state.
  • Avoid touching candle cup surface while candle is burning or immediately after burning because it may be hot.
  • Keep candle away from drafts and flammable materials.
  • Do not leave burning candle unattended.
  • Keep candles away from children and pets.

    Q: How to use the Wine and Champagne Stopper?
    A:
    Simply position the stopper on top of your bottle. Gently hold down the outer ring to lock it closed. Push the button on top of the seal for quick release. The Wine Stopper has the word “Wine” clearly stated on top of the stopper and fits most common (non-screw-on) wine bottles. The Champagne Stopper has the word “Champagne” on top and fits most common (non-screw-on) champagne bottles. Enjoy and drink responsibly!
