Art & Decor: 316 vs 201 Sculptures & Hooks

 

316 for rain/snow – develops patina but won't flake. Clean annually with soap.

 

Can 201 be used indoors?
Yes for dry wall art. Dust with microfiber cloth. Avoid humid bathrooms.

 

Baking soda paste + soft brush. Rinse and wax for protection.

 

Likely 201 steel or contaminated 304. Replace with certified 316.

 

Use 304 hooks for damp soil pots. Check wall anchors yearly.
