Hi, does anyone know of a way to remove danish oil from stainless steel? Thanks.?

Answer 1

"Danish Oil" is a form of mineral spirits. As such, you can use a solvent to remove it, if you allowed it to dry onto the stainless steel. More mineral spirits, turpentine, acetone, etc, will remove the dried portion in quick order, without damaging the stainless steel.

Just to make clean up easier, I would use something like Dawn dish soap, to rinse the area off, after using a solvent to remove the dried danish oil. Follow up with wiping it down with a damp rag, to remove the dish soap.

Have Fun

Answer 2

I'm guessing here-- but any detergent that has grease cutting ability should work here ( most dish detergents )-- this is under the assumption that Danish oil is the light weight oil we used for teak years ago--
I would use a very clean cloth to wash the stainless-- and a new cloth or sponge to rinse it-- then polish with paper towels or newspapers.
good luck

Answer 3

Try spraying the area with w-d 40, that will thin out the danish oil, then use a grease cutter, or I have found dawn works best at removing it.
