leaning stainless steel can sometimes seem tricky, but is a very resilient surface. When problems happen, it is best to start with the basics to help repair the surfaces.
Baking soda mixed with liquid dish soap can make a good paste to gently rub on stains. Be sure to rinse the stainless steel surface thoroughly, and towel dry.
If the stains still remain you can try vinegar. Remember to thoroughly rinse and towel dry.
If stains still remain I recommend trying a stainless steel cleaner and polisher. Barkeeper's Friend is a good powder formula that can clean without scratching. Be sure to follow the directions, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry. These methods should help remove the discolorations.

I've just 'discovered' Astonish,it's a paste that can be used for all sorts of things around the house and the kitchen one is brilliant at cleaning stainless steel. It isn't too abrasive but very effective and is only £1. I got mine from Boyes. Baby oil is also great to give it a good shine afterwards.

It's a myth that stainless steel is stainless. It's just rust proof. Certain chemicals will stain it (dependent on the grade). The best way to remove marks is with 'wire wool', mild detergent and elbow grease.

Use either superfine steel wool, or 3M scotch brite pads in gray (medium) or burgundy (coarse) which you can get at your local auto parts store.Theres a lot of cleaning products for stainless steel, but this is effective and cheap.

Use Ajax. Take a WET cloth, put some ajax on it and coat the surface with it. Make sure you go WITH THE GRAIN or you'll scratch it. Let the ajax dry completely then wipe away with a DAMP cloth. Use kitchen towel to dust away any dry residue. Apply a thin coating of baby oil to increase the stain resistance of the metal.

Oven cleaner works great on stainless steel. Make sure it is not aluminum!

Dabbing olove oil and then rubbing it in is good. If you're talking water stains then try wiping with a limescale remover such as Viakal.
