Stainless steel has a modern and sleek look. It’s also durable, making it an incredibly ideal option for kitchen appliances. However, it’s susceptible to scratches that spoil its appearance. This video is an illustrated explanation of how to conduct a stainless steel repair at home.
Individuals can use specially made cleaners to buff stainless steel gently in order to remove thin scratches.
Some appliance manufacturers provide stainless steel repair cleaners. Homeowners can purchase them from local home improvement stores. Conceal minor scratches with stainless-steel polish. Be sure to reapply the polish regularly to maintain the appearance of the appliances.
Use sandpaper to remove deep scratches. Ensure it’s wet and use it in conjunction with a rubbing element. Begin the stainless steel repair process by sanding the scratch before blending it in. Establish the grain direction and sand in one direction only. Avoid sanding back and forth or sanding against the grain.
If the scratches are severe, use a courser-grit paper. Follow in with a finer grit, and complete it with a rubbing compound. The sanding technique is effective on plain stainless steel panels. Never use sanding on simulated stainless panels or stainless steel with a fingerprint-immune clear coat.
