The Best Way to Remove Scratches from Stainless Steel

[@maryjomccallister9102]

You can do the same thing with sanding sponges. I buy a 2 pack with a fine and extra fine sponges. Much cheaper and you don't need the polishing compound. I touch up in between sandings with a damp Magic Eraser. I've gotten spilled and dried Super Glue off my sink. That took a few times, but eventually got it all. My sink is original to the house from 1975. When I'm finished, it looks like new.

Scratches and stains are inevitable on a hard-use item like the kitchen sink. I've been going back and forth about whether to replace my kitchen sink -- no real need, it just got ugly and dull over time. I'll try this! Not sure I'm brave enough to use on a stainless appliance, but the sink? Why the heck not! Thanks, Angela!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I know how you mean. The sink in this video while functional had a few chemical stains and lots of scratches. We really had nothing to lose and I love the result so yay!

Bar Keepers Friend is magical. It's my go-to for heavy-duty projects like this. In fact, I've used it on this sink numerous times. NOTE: The Bar Keepers Friend didn't touch heavy or deep scratches nor did it remove the chemical stains. The chemical stains have been there for 10+ years - That would have been a faster, less expensive fix. I will use BKF from here out to maintain the sink since it does wonders on stainless steel. 👍👍👍

[@kimberlindy]

I'm SO glad this video was just suggested to me; another youtuber who makes stainess steel rangehoods shared his process, but since he was talking about rangehoods, he didn't say anything about making sure you don't have a coated stainless appliance. Pretty sure the top of my range isn't coated but will do your silver polish trick to see if it is or not before attempting.

I’ve used a fine grit sandpaper and water to remove etched designs from SS tumblers, as well as laser engraved designs. Never thought to try it on the sink though. I’d buy the kit just for the handle and less hassle of wrestling the sandpaper over a bigger area. Tks for the demonstration.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I've never taken anything close to sandpaper to stainless steel and this process does go against logic - but the results have me convinced there is a way to salvage scratched (and chemically stained appliances). In this case, the results were impressive. Never thought to use it on mugs. I'm going to try that next. Thanks for the tip. 👍

I've also found that Mother's Mag and Aluminum paste polish does a pretty good job on superficial scratches in an old stainless steel sink and really brings the shine.

I use automotive sandpaper, wet, in progressively finer grades. By the time you get to 3500 or 4000 grit, you have a nice finish. Polish with a buffer ball on a drill with a metal polish and it looks like new.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Awesome tips. What grit do you start out with? And do you use a compound of any sort?

[@simpleshoes]

@@AskAngelaBrownit depends on how deep the scratches are, and how much effort you want to expend. My sink wasn’t too bad after 10 yrs of use so I believe I started with 2500. The lower the grade, the more you’ll need to sand overall, so start with something as high as possible and if you have to put too much effort into it then go a bit lower. Remember sanding is basically scratching until you have it all scratched to the same level, and then you keep sanding with progressively finer grades so the scratches get smaller and smaller to the point that it looks smooth. Remember to keep it wet. You just need water with the sandpaper. And lots of elbow grease 🙂

wood ash is collected from, burning chemical free and natural logs from your chimney or woodstove. You can clean anything with wood ash. I clean my woodstove with it, my griddle, my iron skillets, but anything metal, wood ash can clean. It's old fashioned cleaning like in the Victorian era and some people know about it because because it was a passed down tradition. It's like another way for abrasivly cleaning metals. I also heard you can clean or polish things as well. I use it to clean and polish my woodstove or anything iron around the house or metals. You could also use it to clean your gardening tools. Wood ash is also excellent for snow. Like sidewalks or driveways.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words. Spider lines? Where are they and on what surface?

[@wordreet]

I'm not sure about that liquid that came with the kit. It's probably mildly caustic, but definitely not magic. But what the abrasive pads are doing is creating your own almost microscopic set of scratches, which will over-ride the existing scratches if you rub for long enough. It's good to have the 3 different grades of pad, and you should be able to buy them all from a good DIY store. And you could go further, if you want, with the polishing if a kitchen item like a kettle is scratched. Though a dent is another matter. But once you've done with the abrasive pads, you could use "wet and dry paper" which is like sandpaper, but won't fall apart when wet. But you'll have to experiment till you find the right "grit" number to match and go finer than what the abrasive pads have managed up to that point. Another tip is that if you have a really deep scratch, try rubbing the abrasive pad along the same line as the scratch. It may not end up perfect, but it should improve. Oh and for superglue, try boiling water.

Yes, make sure to do the metal test first to see if you have real metal.

It doesn't technically get scratches out. When you go with the grain it actually creates hundreds if not thousands of scratches so it just looks like it's the grain of the steel. Of course looks much better, But it's more obvious with scratches going against the grain like vertical etc. The after pictures look nothing like how the steel use to be, you don't actually see the grain in original.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching and for letting me know. :-)

What do you do with stainless semi gloss surfaces that are not suppose to be high gloss and also has no grain to go along with?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you have stainless semi-gloss surfaces that are not supposed to be high gloss and do not have a grain, there are a few ways to maintain their appearance. First, clean them with a microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution or a mixture of vinegar and water to remove any dirt and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that can damage the surface. You can also apply a stainless steel cleaner or a wax product to protect the surface and give it a matte finish. Be sure to test any product on a small area first to ensure it does not damage the surface. Hope this helps!

That looked wonderful I had a client once the contractor scratched her stainless steel door. The client handed me a kit and asked me if I would try it and I said I would not as I didn’t want to replace it. The contractor did he made it 1000 times worse he ended up having to pay $1000 to replace the door on a built in fridge. The key seems to be to stay in the grain of the stainless steel!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, that is the key - go with the grain and be patient. It's not a five minute project if you're doing a job as big as both sinks. Don't start the project unless you have time to do it correctly.

[@drunkbee880]

Get 600 or 1000 wet/dry sandpaper and clean the sink with it . Don’t put too much pressure on, just constant pressure so it sands it consistently. Don’t sand in circular motion or every which way , just Sand in one direction for 20 minutes with the water running and you are done .

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for sharing this tip!👍

[@tacotony4090]

Okay, that's pretty good, but what about that stain you said you'd get back to? How do you remove it? Down in that recessed area does not look easy. More sanding?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, that area is a harder to get too! For something like that you can try using a smaller tool with the pads to get into the tight areas. Overall it did a great job! Thanks for watching!

[@Wilbs1960]

I assume this works good for stainless steel appliances? We just moved and our movers had a time getting the long handle put back on our bottom freezer on fridge and there are a couple of scratches.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, this applies to stainless steel appliances as well as sinks. Let me know how it works for you.

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Thank you for sharing, Angela! That second one is much more affordable. Hope it works.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Right? I run a group of professional house cleaners on Facebook and when asking around everybody kept recommending Barry's Scratch-B-Gone so that is just the brand I chose. Looking at the two kits the other seems very similar and at a fraction of the price. I don't know the difference because I haven't used the other one but put in in there hoping someone who uses it will give me their feedback. If you use it before I do, keep me posted and let me know how it works. 😍

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

@@AskAngelaBrown lol, yes I did buy it, I want you to come by and use it for me! I have arthritis. The scrubbing would kill me. Oh, unless I can use my Hommitt spin brush!

[@MonyMunoz-l3m]

Wow amazing..thank you I'm going to tryvthis..

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Welcome!😊

[@arlenenewland7239]

WOW! Incredible product!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching. I haven't used it before now and was quite impressed. I find out later that the scrub pads have minerals or something that makes them extra scratchy. It goes against common logic to use a product like this, but that buffer pad with the Barry's shine blended everything back together nicely. 👍👍👍

[@HollywoodF1]

As a housekeeping business, this goes beyond cleaning. This is refinishing and should be done for an additional fee.

[@m.reynolds9663]

Extra fee…of course..🤷‍♀️

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It is a great upsell for your clients!

[@katg6274]

Ty this was exactly what I needed to know for my Apt Oven👍

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Awesome. Let me know if you try it and how it works. I'm eager to hear your experience as well. 👍

Do you know how to clean a swanstone sink?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here are the cleaning instructions per their website: www.ldss.com/products/swanstonecarecleaning.html

[@madusonkeeper]

Any auto repair has both light sanding and compounds for polishing

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I haven't even thought about doing an auto repair - I'm guessing so much can go wrong if you aren't highly skilled. I imagine the compounds help blend it all back together. Thanks for bringing this up. You've got me thinking now. :-)

Great info!! Thanks for taking us along

Thanks for coming along for the ride. It's great to have you here. :-)

Thank you, glad you liked it! 🤗

[@starkness65]

Expensive for what it does. Its look like it just maker more finer scratch to hide all the deep scratches. It still really there, not removing it.

Hi, how to remove tea/ coffee stains from quartz counter tops?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here is a resource from a countertop pro that you might find helpful thekitchenshops.com/blog/how-to-clean-quartz-countertops/

[@PatHaskell]

I just use different grade scotchbrite pads or start with sandpaper if really deep.

Hi! I’m getting a housekeeper, yippee! My husband and I are getting too old to keep up the housework. What interview questions should I ask? What do I need to know? Should the housekeeper come with all his/her supplies and vacuum? I’d like that. Any help u could give us is greatly appreciated. Do you know of any housekeepers in other states besides your own? Thank you. Pam

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Pam, congratulations on making this huge step. Yes, the cleaner should bring their own supplies, but preferably use your vacuum. We've found that most cleaners don't actually clean and sanitize their vacuums between jobs, so after running it all over the floors of many people's homes, they bring the same vacuum to your home and run it all over your floors. If your vacuum stays at your home they should empty it after each use. As for the questions. Here are 63 of the most common questions you may want to ask. savvycleaner.com/downloads/63-questions/ Some of them may be answered on the company website of the company you invite over.

[@dabailey1000]

It looked like it created very fine scratches. Is that just the lighting?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, I'm sure I didn't do a perfect job on my first try. I was able to polish the sink to look brand new again - and I'm really glad I did it.

[@momscosoool]

I am a cleaner and Bar Keepers Friend will take out chemical stains and leaves your sinks looking brand new! It does nothing for scratches though! Bar keepers friend does not scratch most sinks in fact I have never scratched a sink with this product and I have been using it for 15 yrs! Bar keepers friend is excellent on most glass surfaces! Some glass mirrors will scratch so I try a tiny spot first with customers ok!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing this. It's true Bar Keepers Friend does a fine job.

Angela, that test really worked. I'm wondering about what product to use for a grated gas stove top. It's black and I know I wouldn't be able to use this product.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

This is a great question for the manufacturer. They probably have a product they recommend that is safe for the surfaces they sell - and it would be tested for their products specifically. That is where I would start.
