Deep Cleaning a Solo Stove

  • Take the soft brush attachment and attach it to a drill to clean off any remaining residue or ash stuck inside your Solo Stove.
  • Put some Bar Keepers Friend in a container and add water. Use this solution with your drill and brush attachment to scrub your Solo Stove properly.

  • Finally, spray some Weiman Stainless-steel Cleaner on your Solo Stove and use a clean cloth to wipe off any additional residue.

Preventing Rust and Corrosion

  • Dry off your Solo Stove well with a dry clean cloth.
  • When you are confident that you are done using your Stove for the year, you can wipe a tiny amount of WD-40 Rust Preventer over your Stove.
