S
CRATCH, SPOT, AND BLEMISH REMOVAL AND SURFACE RESTORATION:
Little rust spots and blemishes that periodically appear in the sink are typically the result of the steel interacting with the chemicals found in the vast spectrum of
substances that sinks are commonly exposed to . They may also get transferred from other objects placed or left in the sink . Scratches are the result of regular wear
and tear .
To remove scratches, spots, and blemishes from the sink, rub them with a non-metallic scouring pad (e .g . Scotch-Brite
®
) combined with a mild abrasive cleaner (e .g .
Vim
®
or Barkeeper’s Friend
®
). Always rub the surfaces in the direction of the grain of the steel. When finished, rinse the sink with water and dry it with a towel to
allow the sink to form a protective outer layer . This procedure can also be used to renew all of the surfaces of the sink .
