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.

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. 👍👍👍

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.

[@Butterflybleu14]

[@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.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for all you awesome advice! 😉

[@ro63rto]

I've only ever used scotchbrite pads and 0000 wire wool on my SS sinks. I would never advise using any sort of sandpaper otherwise you are merely covering up random scratches with parallel scratches. Scotchbrite can be bought in varying grades as can wire wool but with that I stick to 0000 as a final finish.

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.

Is there a way to clean grease off of the inside of an air fryer - not the basket but the area around the heating element?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I have not tried this yet, will have to get an air fryer or find someone that has one. Thanks for the question, now I will have to make a video on this.

[@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!

[@craftyclarke2514]

Always great advise and tips.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@mytelf5878]

This is great, thanks for sharing! Also, is there a product to get rid of black spider lines in bathroom sink??

[@AskAngelaBrown]

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

[@Rob-ob3sh]

[@Tazzyone.]

Great product

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, I was quite impressed with it myself. Thanks for watching. :-)

[@JJ-Malone]

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. :-)

[@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.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for watching and joining the conversation!

[@paulinedavis8734]

I use 400, 800, 2000, 4000 sand paper & Mother’s Mag and Aluminum paste 👍

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@mellio9077]

VERY NICE 👍 looks GREAT

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you. It looks amazing now. I don't know why I never thought to do it before. LOL. 👍

[@AereForst]

Different grits of sandpaper used with honing liquid will do the same thing. Great video though

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@anniecrowbar9358]

I wonder how well this would work on stove back for just a small area that’s scratched?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

As long as it's raw metal it might work. If it has a coating on it it specifically is not advised.

[@karenquick8737]

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.

[@yimeitong157]

Is this good for refrigerator door?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, make sure to do the metal test first to see if you have real metal. I'm told by the manufacturer if you use silver remover on a make up remover pad and then wipe an inconspicuous part of the stainless steel door with it - it the makeup remover pad turns grey/black with smudging, then you are okay to proceed with the test.

[@quanglu9735]

My stainless refrigerator had some scratches by finger nail . Any solution for remove it .?thx you

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, How about Barry's Scratch B Gone? The kit comes with different levels of scrub brushes you can use depending on the depth of the scratch.

[@deadrabitsps3212]

Thanks

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@HeyHeyAlabama]

What are some suggestions for sinks that aren't stainless steal such as the average white cast iron sinks?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Deborah, thanks for watching. Do you know about Bar Keepers Friend? Here is a video I made on that kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZyQh2qglJl1etk

[@justamediumdeal5828]

Great product.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It really is! Thanks for watching!

[@kathymatheny6336]

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. 👍

[@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. :-)

[@truhunk1]

Use a power tool with polishing pads. Much easier.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, this works as well. We were trying to follow the manufacturer's instructions which is why we have this version of the repair. Yet, you make an excellent recommendation. 👍
