Here I show you how to clean stainless steel to make it shine easily .
This material has the great advantage of being durable and resistant.
The problem is that stains and marks quickly set in...
And automatically the surface looks dirty. What is not very pretty in a nickel house.
I want to say "Wow" every time I walk into my kitchen!
So I looked for a solution to always have a clean and shiny surface.
Luckily, my grandmother gave me her simple, all-natural tips for cleaning stained stainless steel.
Here are 4 easy tips to make stainless steel shine instantly . Watch:
This is a totally natural technique to make raw stainless steel shine or brushed in the kitchen.
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 90% alcohol
- water
- Make a paste with baking soda and water.
- Apply this paste to the stainless steel surface with a soft sponge.
- Leave on for a few moments and rinse with warm water.
- Shine with a cloth dampened in alcohol. No need to rinse.
Warning ! Above all, do not use an abrasive sponge:it will scratch the stainless steel.
If the surface is not too dirty, you can simply pass a cloth with household alcohol.
In most cases, that's more than enough.
It's flawless to erase large fingerprints on the handles of the fridge for example.
Want another great tip?
Use flavored household alcohol.
It cleans perfectly and in addition it smells good.
It's very practical, especially when you can't find 90° alcohol on the market.
And the result is the same!
If there are stubborn traces of limescale on the stainless steel surface, you will like this method.
It gives impeccable results at a lower cost considering the price of white vinegar!
- 5 tablespoons of white vinegar
- 1 liter of hot water
- 90% alcohol
- Dilute the vinegar in hot water.
- Rub the stainless steel with this vinegar solution and a soft sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- To shine the stainless steel, pass a cloth soaked in alcohol at 90° for an impeccable finish.
I love this trick to clean my stainless steel sink and worktop .
And for bikers who have stainless steel parts on their bike, this trick will delight them.
It's really easy, and best of all, it costs nothing.
Here is the best trick to degrease a stainless steel surface without damaging it.
I use it in particular to remove grease splatters on my kitchen hood.
- black soap
- soft sponge
- Pour a little black soap on the sponge.
- Rub on the oily surface with small circular movements.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean, dry towel.
- If the stainless steel hood is very dirty, I advise you to soak it first in a basin of hot water and black soap.
This trick also works for stainless steel splashbacks, which are often greasy after cooking and squirt everywhere.
But also for stainless steel pots or dishes, as well as cutlery.
Stainless steel has the reputation of being an easy-to-maintain and rather sturdy material.
However, care must be taken and avoid products that could scratch and damage it.
I therefore recommend that you avoid :
- commercial anti-limestone, much too abrasive
- bleach, which removes the protective layer of stainless steel over time
- scouring powder, which scratches the surface
- Meudon white which leaves a white veil
Yes, I also avoid white Meudon, which is often recommended.
I was not convinced by its use.
I find that there are white marks left after cleaning.
In addition, stubborn marks are not really cleaned.
In conclusion, it is a product that I do not use for stainless steel.
On the other hand, I use it to clean mirrors.
