13.6 Stains on instruments
• Instruments get yellow due to the deposit of residual chemical fluid which has fixed on
the instruments due to heating. The rinsing was not suitable.
• The sterilization chamber has yellow stains. Some instruments with traces of chemical
fluid have been loaded into the chamber, such fluid has fixed due to heating. The
rinsing was not adequate.
• Instruments have whitish stains, the rinsing has been done with very limy water and the
instruments have not been carefully dried. For the final rinsing we suggest the use of
demineralized water and a careful drying of the instruments
• Instruments have blackened since the material they are made of contain a high
percentage of carbon.
