RE: Rust on Stainless Steel Sink
Lightly sand with a fine, small grain sandpaper. It has only removed the deposits.

rust on my range hood

We had a new ILVE range hood installed about 3 months ago and just recently I bought a non corrosive cleaner, Sellys cooktop repel. I cleaned the range hood, a few days after I noticed the range hood was covered in small marks, like elongated spots. On closer inspection I realised it was rust. I contacted Selleys and they say they tested the product in question and didn't have a problem and have suggested I just clean it off. So, can someone please tell me how to clean the rust off without causing any more damage and then how do I seal the surface to protect it and prevent more damage? I hope I've made sense.
regards
valerie

RE: Rust on Stainless Steel Sink
Why is Stainless rusting in the first place.
i just had a brand new sink put in 18 gauge stainless and it is already showing tiny little rust spots.
I clean them off with BKF but is this just cheap stainless? I never had this problem from my other sink or any other sinks I have ever had.
Are we being duped with cheap Chinese made metal?

We have hard water and I cleaned my stainless steel sink with CLR. It looked great last night, but after sitting overnight, the sink is completely covered in rust. There is even some pock marks, as if the rust ate away at the sink over night? The sink is only 2 months old. Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

Barkeeper's friend is the best for that...it will also protect the stainless steel, making it easier to clean. Light rust will be removed, I have done that with my inferior knives and flatware!

How about Bon Ami? Dampen your rag, dab in the Bon Ami and rub. Just don't get it too wet. I use it for lots of stuff. Somebody told me once they polished their aluminum sink with salad oil to keep it shiny and stain free???

I also will get some rust forming on the surface of my stainless steel sink.I use a non scratch scouring pad available from the local super market and regular dish washing soap.Make sure the pad is non scratch.It not leave any scratches.3M is one brand that is available at either Hannaford or Shaws.After, I clean the sink with a stainless steel cleaner.

I have used a product called Zud for years to clean rust spots, corrosion and a number of stains from my sink, pots and pans along with corning ware dishes and cookware. It can be purchased at Walmart and a number of hardware stores. Hope it works for you.

RE: Rust on Stainless Steel Sink
I think Barkeeper's Friend, in the cleanser section, works better than anything else. I would add that if the stainless steel is truly rusting, then the rust has already gone through the metal and nothing can stop it now. You can only slow it down.
