Any recommendations about cleaning stainless steel valves?
This is what I did. I have a 1976 B & H Imperial EEb. I had it chemically cleaned and the repairship told me to rinse the valves off with water. I did. The second valve sticks every 2 or 3 days or so and then continues to stick. I take it out, wipe it off, oil it, put it back, and then after a few days it happens again. I cleaned it with a stainless steel cleaner and it was shiny. I wiped it off and rinsed it off and put it back. It still sticks more than the others. I would ask a major repair shop in our city, but it has made a mistake or two before. Thanks, Bill.
