This article discusses the current practice of using highly polished stainless steel surfaces, which is thought to minimize initial bacterial attachment and at the same time to maximize cleanability. It is suggested that this industrial practice is a misconception, that it provides no real benefit, and that far rougher surfaces could be used without increasing the rate of bacterial attachment or compromising cleanability.
