After a thorough re-graining and polishing, your sink will shine like new.
Sharp utensils and regular use cause scratches, stains and general wear and tear on once-pristine stainless steel kitchen sinks. Each stainless steel sink has its own hairline grain – typically a brushed grain finish – which brings attention to scratches that run in an opposing direction. Refinishing old sinks essentially entails re-graining the surface to create a new, uniform pattern. This painless process remedies general age and surface scratches. If your sink is badly damaged, consider enlisting a professional who specializes in fabricating or polishing stainless steel.
1. Notice the direction of the grain of your stainless steel sink – always follow the direction of this grain when cleaning or sanding your sink.
2. Clean the sink thoroughly. Spray a microfiber cloth with an ammonia-based household glass cleaner and scrub the sink free of fingerprints and grease. Dampen a nylon sponge with distilled white vinegar and scrub away stains and lime deposits.
3. Secure 240-grit sandpaper to a sanding block. Sand the surface of the sink in long, even strokes, following the sink's grain in one direction. Overlap the edges of your strokes by 1 to 2 inches.
4. Rinse the sink free of sanding dust. Allow it to dry and then sand the surface once again. This time, secure a coarse-grit abrasive pad to the sanding block. Rinse the sink, let it dry and do one more pass with a fine-grit abrasive pad.
5. Clean the sink once again with distilled white vinegar and a nylon pad.
6. Buff the sink with a stainless steel cleaner and microfiber cloth. Follow the manufacturer's directions and clean in the direction of the grain.
7. Apply a few drops of baby oil to the sink for a final shine. Wipe the sink dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
