how to get water spots off stainless steel?

Answer 1

I like an inexpensive product at the home depot called Zep Commercial Stainless Cleaner. It removes the spots, can clean off nearly anything and then puts a protectorant on the surface that resists the stains from setting again and makes it easier to clean, too.

Answer 2

water and Comet...or baking soda...or toothpaste (silica or baknig soda content)...600 grit sand paper...ultra fine steel wool...


This is primarily a mechincal cleaning. If you use chemicals, you will likely just get a bigger/new stain. All of the answers above depend upon a fine grit abrasive. If the grit is too large, you will mar the surface by leaving scratch marks. Try to follow the grain of the stainless steel ,if their is a grain.

Answer 3

What we used when cleaning houses with the stainless steel products was lemon oil they sell it at the stores . you wipe it on and then take a soft cotten like diaper or dish towel and wipe all the excess oil back off and it takes of any fingerprints , and everything else that was on it.. works really good and makes the stuff look brand new again..
hope it works for you.. brings life back to kitchen sinks.

Answer 4

Lowe's carries a 'stainless steel spray' after using it, I have
had no water spots at all.

It is a cleaner and coats the steel at the same time.

I use it monthly.

good luck
