How to Clean Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Chrome

Mirror polished stainless steel is attractive. It is also easy to maintain and clean. However, it does need special care to avoid scratches and other damage. If you do not have the tools and experience to polish the stainless steel on your own, you can hire a professional to handle the job for you.

To remove stains, rust, and other debris from the surface of chrome, you can use vinegar or other hydrocarbon solvents. You can also apply a small amount of dishwashing detergent. Once the surface is free of debris, you can use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe it down.

Stainless steel appliances need to be cleaned regularly. Using soap and water to clean them will help remove smudges and light stains. When cleaning stainless steel, make sure to wipe it down in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching the metal. Adding a few drops of olive oil will help to polish the surface. Afterwards, you should wipe the polished area with a dry cloth.

Using a mild detergent and a clean sponge will help to get rid of sticky smudges and marks. Using an abrasive brush is also an effective way to get rid of stains. While you're at it, you can also add a few drops of alcohol to the sponge. This will help to loosen and remove the residue.

For stubborn stains, you can apply a paste made from baking soda and water. This will help to remove the stain, as well as polish the stainless steel. Be sure to rub the paste into the stainless steel with the grain, so that it doesn't damage the surface. After applying the paste, you can rinse the surface with a few drops of water.

If the stain still persists, you can try a glass cleaner. You can choose a chloride-free version of the product. Simply apply it to the surface of the chrome with a clean, damp cloth and then switch to a fresh section of the cloth. Alternatively, you can use an all-purpose lubricant to remove the stain.

The final step in cleaning mirror piolished stainless steel is buffing. Buffing is a time-consuming process, but it is the only way to achieve a highly-reflective surface. It is also important to be gentle when buffing. Use a low speed and work in quick, even passes. Make sure to follow tight lines, as these will prevent the orange peel effect from forming.

Before buffing, you can prepare your stainless steel for the process by washing it with warm, soapy water. Be sure to use a lint-free cloth to wipe it down. In addition, you may need to apply a soft-bristled brush to clear away any sticky spots.

Before finishing the project, be sure to remove excess flour with a dry cloth. Do not use paper towels as they can leave fibers that can tarnish the stainless steel. A clean microfiber cloth is a good choice for polishing.
