Try This Genius Hack to Get Rid of Kitchen Scratches on Shiny Surfaces

Who doesn’t love an innovative hack that works? The following is a hack for homeowners who have stainless steel appliances in their kitchens. To remove scratches three basic ingredients are needed, and it really couldn't get more simple than this.

The first thing that is needed is a soft toothbrush and whitening toothpaste. Use a small amount of toothpaste on the scratch and gently scrub it with the toothbrush. Not many people know that toothpaste can be an effective cleaner that's capable of removing scratches on glass and kitchen appliances. Once the scratch disappears, remove the excess toothpaste using a damp microfiber cloth. The third and most surprising ingredient is cooking oil. This can be sunflower or olive oil. Just wipe over the scratch area with some oil, and the appliance will look new again.

If you're dealing with a stainless steel sink, use a microfiber cloth and a soft abrasive cleaner, and put it on the scratches. Remember not to apply too much pressure. Once this is done, use another clean microfiber cloth and remove the polishing agent and any dust metal particles.

Commonplace baking soda can remove light scratches on stainless steel kitchen ovens. It has a powdery texture that will act like a gentle abrasive. Just add some water to the baking soda and mix it into a paste. Use this on the surface of the stainless steel and gently rub. Once done, remove the paste and wipe using a microfiber cloth. With these kitchen cleaning hacks, you'll have your stainless steel kitchen appliances looking brand new in no time!
