Wow !! I find that interesting !! When I was working as a pipefitter we were
always told never to use regular steel with anything
that was stainless steel as the stainless would acquire the regular steel
molecules on the surface and then show rust stains. We were always told to
never mix the two. We did food grade stainless steel piping and tubing
fabrication, which was very sensitive to quality. Maybe if the stainless was
never allowed to become wet and you protected it with a wax or sealer it
would be OK, I know I will only use stainless steel wool on my stainless
steel trim, and never use sandpaper that has been contaminated on regular
steel. Nor use a regular steel wire brush on stainless steel, nor use a
grinder wheel that had been grinding regular steel on stainless steel.
but that's just me..........
