Scratch Removal Stainless Steel

Scratch removal for stainless steel is essential to keep it in good condition. When it’s new, stainless steel is a beautiful material, exuding a brilliant shine that increases the aesthetics of its surroundings. Whether in a commercial or private kitchen, stainless steel is the preferred material to work with because of its durable reputation. However, over time, a stainless-steel sink does scratch causing it to dull and lose its radiant shine. Old 2 New Stainless is a company that concentrates on restoring the condition of stainless steel regardless of the grade or style.

Stainless steel is a versatile material, especially in the kitchen. You’ll find it on countertops, appliances and utensils. Even though it’s durable and resistant to corrosion, using the wrong type of cleaners negatively affects the material. After you’ve had a professional company polish stainless steel sink scratches, it’s up to you to maintain it on a daily basis.

• Leaving dirty water on the surface allows it to sit and leave a residue. As a result, it stains the material and damages the finish. Similarly, if you use harsh chemicals in the form of cleaners, it has the same effect. Hence, you must rinse the surface regularly to eliminate the chance of any residue affecting the appearance of the steel.
• Many people use steel wool or brushes to clean the surface, such as a steel sink. However, using these leaves particles behind which rusts and leaves a stain on the steel. Furthermore, brushes and steel wool are incredibly abrasive and leave scratches on the surface. Instead of using those elements to clean, opt for a soft cloth, non-scouring pads, and other non-abrasive materials. As a result, you maintain the excellent condition of your stainless steel.
• Some Stainless Steel has fine lines in the metal which is a brushed grain finish or satin grade finish. You should never clean or scrub against the grain as this will cause damage to the material. Instead, you must wash, wipe and polish with the grain to get the surface cleaner while maintaining the condition and texture of the steel.

If you have stainless steel pots, you must never pour oil in it while it’s still cold and in the case of boiling water for cooking, only add the salt to your pot when the water reaches boiling point.
