Thank you so much for this. We’re having a stainless steel sink installed soon and I just want to make sure I keep it cared for correctly. I’m so excited! Thank you again!
Years ago a metal engineer told me to wash sink or stove top real well with soapy water, then rinse and dry well. Polish with baby oil, let set for a while, then dry buff it to a nice shine. I do this once a week and my sink looks like a new sink all the time. I live in a duplex and the sink was abused long before I moved in. My landlord was really impressed.
Good video. Pleased to see you advising against steel wool and brushes, especially, metal brushes. My parent's stainless double sink is 60 years old and still looks fine.
I simply use plain baking soda and a rag with my smooth finish stainless sink. Just like in the old days. I have never had stuck on foods in my sink and I regularly cook quite a bit. My sink was purchased from Menards and is now 30 years old and still looks great. I regularly leave standing water in it overnight. It always looks great when cleaned. I always have baking soda on hand , it is multi purpose and non toxic. One less product to buy and no need to buy ones that are harmful to Mother Nature. Keep it simple I say. Thanks for the video. Well done.
I use Bar Keepers Friend to start with and a blue non-scratch pad. Then for touch up cleaning and to remove coffee I use a magic eraser pad. it literally erases all coffee from the stainless steel! This method works well on all stainless steel surfaces.
I just cleaned with regular Dawn soap, rinsed, then used Zep Stainless Steel Polish, to shine it, spray, let it sit for about 2 min, then towel dry wipe. I got it for almost 5$ from Home Depot.
He should do a lot of videos because he is so easy to listen to and yes very relaxing. When I'm done cleaning my stainless steel sink, I dry it and then spray a small amount of furniture polish and rub it in real good and it keeps it from getting water spots. I don't know why I did this, but it works great. And I'd never get another stainless steel sink again!
I used bar keepers friend with paper towel but it caused scratches. How do you tell what direction the grain goes? It doesn't have a direction that I can see.
I find these home vids, plus cooking vids REALLY calming. I can't cook and I'm lucky if I can put a light bulb in it's socket. I can barely boil an egg, but, LORD, I love cooking and home improvement vids. Is there something wrong with me??
33 years ago my mom used the green Scotch Brite cleaning pads. They scratched everything she cleaned. The green cleaning pads have the same grit as 600 grit sandpaper.
*Any tips on how to buff-out scratches that have formed? Saw someone on RUclips use Colgate toothpaste...but they didn't quite film the before & after shots of the scratch.*
Thank you. It appears that water does not smoothly flow down the drain. Is there a protective product that facilitates a “gliding effect” flow of water?
Excellent information. I'm going to check the specifics of our new sink that we don't have installed yet to ensure it's cleaned properly & follow your advice. 👌
I have a question. Why are kitchen faucets like the one shown in this video almost always mounted with the handle to the right? This causes the user to drip water onto the counter whenever they reach for the handle. I have started to mount new faucet installs with the handle pointed toward the front. That way dripping hands are kept over the sink and avoids water pooling on the countertop. Try this. You'll be surprised how much cleaner this keeps your countertop.
Many faucets don't have the option to have it mounted any other way. On my moen the faucet head has limited travel to move to the right and left and it's indexing positions are fixed.
I would never use Comet on my stainless steel, Bar Keepers , baking soda, and soap work really well, also Stainless Steel cleaner keeps the sink shinny and new.
A question. My sink has stains formed by leaving a scrubbrush that was used on grout that I cleaned with toiletbowl cleaner. Any way I can get those stains out?
As a professional cleaner, I advise people against buying cheap stainless steel- refrigerators and stoves in particular. I, personally, would never have any stainless steel in my home. They are high-maintenance.
Is there anyway to buff out scratches from a commercial satin finish stainless steel hand washing sink? Also, there's a fountain that seems to have the same problem but it appears to be the brush mate finish. Any suggestions?
I've been doing this 40 years, stay away from scourers, and never polish in a circular motion across the grain. Always do any motion in the direction of the grain.
my husband and I bought a house and our kitchen already had a sink and I don't know what finish it is because it's been here since 2006 I think and would like to know what finish it is because I am afraid I am not cleaning it properly.
What about using ammonia and(oxy-palmolive-a dish detergent)? And a plastic mesh sponge. And a 3m scouring pad on stains. Then- What is a good protective polish to give it a slick non absorbent finish-( like caranuba wax gives to wood)? Also, I thought bleach powder was too corrosive.
We found the cleaning powder helps to take away whatever buffed off from the sink surface. Yes bleach, of acidic nature, is corrosive to metals including stainless steel, but as long as you rinse it off right away the bleach that is possibly contained in the cleaning powder doesn't really have the time to harm the sink. We haven't tried ammonia, but as long as it works for you, I believe it's fine to use because it's of basic nature so it doesn't harm stainless steel. As for recommendation of a non-absorbent finishing polish, I think you can use any of those stainless steel cleaner/polish for stainless appliances - that'll leave a slick uniform look on the surface. Hope this is helpful. Rick from Wells Sinkware Corp.
What did he do to make you make your observance? I cringed when I saw him use Ajax, and when he went in circles, but overall he did an okay, but non expert job
Sink is only few months old and I still struggle with water stains...I hear we have lots of calcium in our water...have done everything you recommended...still can’’t bring it back completely ...please help
So I'm restricted by an MSDS on the chemicals I can use. We got low budget hydrogen peroxide based cleaners (so we don't have to go thru HazMat) and the highest concentration is 12% in our grout cleaner. We have a toilet/sink cleaning solution that is slightly abrasive and contains bleach (we use it for cleaning heavy soil off of porcelain toilets and sinks). I have taken extreme buildup off with a spudger tool, but standard hard water buildup isn't "tall" enough to be scraped off. If all else fails, the stainless steel is brushed, meaning that it has a "grain" to it, I could (and have) used a pumice stick to lightly scrub off the buildup, then wipe it off with a magic eraser, and finally apply a "stainless steel polish" that is essentially a spray on clear coat complete with a carcinogen (hence why the stuff is illegal to sell or use in California). Any tips considering my limitations in chemicals?
@@sookie4195 hydrogen peroxide is not. It's a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, with the formula H2O2. One oxygen molecule is all that separates it from water, chemically speaking. Over time, hydrogen peroxide, even in its purest form, will break down into hydrogen (water) and oxygen (breathable air). Its one of the most eco-friendly cleaners there is.
Of all the names the creator of 'stainless' steel could have given it, they chose 'stainless'. This is the biggest misnomer. All it ever does, is stain.
Doesn't seem like you are answering anyone but I'll ask a question anyway. What do you use to get hard water stains off? I know, to prevent it wipe your sink after each use, My kids don't.
If your kids are tall enough to reach the bottom of the sink, then tell them to wipe the sink dry. Or, you could just tell them you forgot to wash their favorite clothes. Kids have to learn to respect things that belong to others. Same goes for spouses. I'm not a paid housekeeper, and my kitchen is MY domain! I don't have junk drawers, and nothing is in my kitchen that doesn't belong there. Don't be a willy nilly. Put your foot down mom! And good luck!! And have a great day.
how do u guys maintain a sponge? Arent they just a sponge of germs ? I use toilet paper for all wiping down but Im just wondering if theres something im missing with gross nasty sponges? Buy disposable?
@@evelyngonzalez6243 too much work..rather use paper towels and toilet paper...then i know its always clean..ur spong after that microwave is only clean for one more use til dirty again...sponges should be all disposable theyre disgusting
The trick is to rinse off sticky food first, especially cheese. Use your hands or the soft side of sponge under running water (pre-cleaning). If food is dried on, let soak in hot water for about 10 minutes. OR Every night, let scrub side sit face down in a bowl with hot soapy water overnight. You can even use a splash of bleach in the soapy hot water but rinse after 15 to 30 minutes. Otherwise your sponge will start falling apart. Hope that's changes your life.

Hi Janette, Love Menard's also. TIP. huge 2 lb box of baking soda at Dollar General is only $2.00.
Janette Lavender love your approach. Too many bizarre chemicals are not good for humans and other living beings.

Stop cleaning new sink. Show how to clean a salt stained one instead
I've used Bom Ami for many years. My sinks still shine like new.
You didn't mention "Cameo" which is for Aluminum and Stainless Steel. Great for cleaning Stainless Steel pots and pans. Wonderful product.
I just cleaned with regular Dawn soap, rinsed, then used Zep Stainless Steel Polish, to shine it, spray, let it sit for about 2 min, then towel dry wipe. I got it for almost 5$ from Home Depot.
Dawn will not get water stains out.

gjax57 Nothing better , And scrub daddies
Those metal grates scratch the bottom of the sink where the rubber feet sit and they are hard to clean where the metal crosses.

I have some rust marks in my stainless sink. Can it be removed? I can't replace the sink without removing a huge long granite top!

How to clean acid spots from sink ?
