Stainless steel appliances are durable, but over time, scratches from everyday use can appear. Don’t worry—removing these scratches is easier than you might think! The key is to always work with the natural grain of the metal to restore that flawless shine.
Here’s an effective method to get rid of those pesky scratches:
What You’ll Need:
- Microfiber cloth or soft toothbrush
- Non-abrasive cleaner (such as toothpaste or a gentle rubbing compound)
- Water
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Apply Cleaner: Dab a small amount of your chosen cleaner (toothpaste or rubbing compound) onto a microfiber cloth or soft toothbrush.
- Buff the Surface: Gently buff the scratched area, always following the grain of the stainless steel. Be sure to use light pressure to avoid causing further damage.
- Wipe Away Residue: Dampen a clean microfiber cloth with water and wipe away any excess product or residue from the surface.
- Dry and Shine: Finish by drying the area with a dry cloth to see a smooth, scratch-free surface.
Repeat as needed until the scratches are gone, and your appliance will look as good as new! [1]
