Always use non-abrasive tools to clean stainless steel products. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm the steel’s passive layer. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated, or non-chloride containing cleaners. For information on cleaning your Perlick product, see page 8 of your Perlick Use & Care guide.

Why does Perlick only use commercial-grade stainless steel interiors?
Perlick has been an industry leader in commercial products for bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues around the world for the past 100 years. Professionals demand stainless steel, which is why you see so much of it behind the bar and in kitchens everywhere from local pubs to 100,000-seat sports stadiums.
Our stainless steel interiors feature superior craftsmanship, are extremely durable, and are easy to clean. Stainless steel is also a natural energy conductor. Constructing the interiors of our refrigeration with stainless steel helps maintain consistent temperature while conserving energy. Stainless steel will not pit, warp, or stain like plastic interiors, which can harbor unpleasant odors and harmful mold.
What are the benefits of Perlick’s vinyl-coated full-extension shelving?
Perlick’s vinyl-coated full-extension shelving is an industry exclusive. Shelving pulls completely out of the cabinet, making it easy to access goods in the back of the unit.
- Each durable, commercial-grade, vinyl-coated full-extension shelf can hold up to 75 lbs. of product.
- Stainless steel ball bearing glides provide smooth shelf movement in and out of the cabinet.
- Vinyl coating prevents shifting and sliding of product and serves as a barrier between your wine collection and any type of vibration.
