Stainless Steel Sinks
5 Answers
Hi I have just had a new stainless steel sink in my new kitchen.although it has been in place for a week It has not been functional until today. My husband came home and noticed scratches on it completely fuming ( whilst also accusing me of being of being careless ) went down to the store demanding a new sink which they gave him. Would anyone agree with me that this is what happens to new stainless steel until it is broken in, so to speak. I don't like the idea of defending myself especially when this is a working environment I am going to be paranoid using it in the future in case it scratches again which it will.

New SS marks easily... initially. In time, it develops a patina that renders most light scratches almost unnoticeable. Even so, scratches can be rubbed out with metal polish. Even deep scratches can be removed with fine "wet 'n dry" paper. The stuff car bodyshops use before respraying.

Yes stainless steel sinks scratch.
Here's what Carron say
"When first in use your sink may appear to show up scratches easily. This is because the steel is protected during its manufacture by a layer of plastic film. However, rather like the bodywork of your car, stainless steel can scratch easily. Care must be taken therefore when cleaning or indeed during every day use."
and
"Minor scratching of the sink’s surface is extremely difficult to avoid and is not something to be unduly concerned about. The drainer area in particular is likely to pick up scratches due to hard objects placed upon it. These marks are usually only superficial and can be removed with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner. A useful alternative is a car paint restorer such as ‘T-Cut.’"

tell you husband if he's that excited about a sink then he can do ALL the cooking and ALL the washing up. That'll stop his farting in church!
