You can also get the same formula in convenient wipes. But we won't lie—both are quite pricey, compared to other brands. If you love Therapy's eco-friendly and plant-based formula as much as we do, the shopping secret is to look for larger refills as the most economical option. We think a little bit goes a long way to both clean and polish your stainless steel surfaces. After you are done with the hard sisal wheel, then transition to the soft cloth wheel and white polishing compound to give stainless steel a final finish. Choose a pad that’s somewhat abrasive, attaching it to the buffer and applying it to the pad as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Wipe away dirt, fingerprints, grease and residues on stainless steel and other metal surfaces with 3M™ Stainless Steel Cleaners. Wipe the steel down with a soft cloth. Using either a soft cloth or paper towel, wipe the vinegar off in the direction of the grain. This will remove debris from the item and restore its shine. Remember to wipe in the direction of the grain. You don't want vinegar to stay caught in the grooves and cause your steel to fade over time. But, as anyone who finds themselves with a tea-stained spoon or surface covered in spills will know, it can be difficult to figure out the best way to clean stainless steel without damaging it. In fact, research by End of Tenancy Cleaning found nearly 19,000 of us are Googling how to clean stainless steel each month! Reduces corrosion: Polishing helps reduce the number and size of crevices in metal that encourage rust.

For buffing out tough splotches, Bar Keepers Friend is a great stainless steel cleaner to keep around. We frequently use this nonabrasive, oxalic acid-based cleanser on stainless steel sinks and metallic bathroom fixtures. Letting this goopy cleaning paste sit briefly on the most tarnished spots helps easily lift the grime when it's wiped away. When the protective coating of stainless steel appliances is scratched or otherwise damaged, you’ll start to see rust peeking out from these scratch marks. But don’t worry. All hope is not lost. Affresh’s Stainless Steel Brightener is specifically formulated to target rust marks and the yellowing on the bottom of cookware caused by high heat. For this stage, you need a mini-grinder. Start with the coarse flap disc to remove the rough edges, and then use a finer disc to remove the deep scratches. Alternatively, you can use a drill and flap disc to get the job done, but expect it to be slower.

We also evaluate other performance parameters like polishing ability. If the cleaner claims to leave a protective coating on the appliance surfaces, we test how well it resists new fingerprints and grease buildup. The polishing abilities of each stainless steel cleaner are measured using a device called a gloss meter that measures the amount of projected light reflected off of a freshly polished stainless steel surface. We take careful note of any cleaners that remove the shine and darken stainless steel surfaces after use.
