Stainless Steel Cutlery Cleaning Guide: Restore Shine and Remove Stains

Stainless steel cutlery is indeed pretty robust if you buy good quality cutlery. However, over time and use, stubborn water marks and blemishes might need attention.

So if you've ever wondered how to remove cutlery stains? Heres how, mix distilled vinegar and boiling hot water solution. Clean with a microfiber cloth. If you would like to bring the cutlery up to a polish afterwards, sprinkle cream of tartar onto the cutlery and wipe clean with a warm, damp microfiber cloth.

What You’ll Need

  • Distilled vinegar
  • Boiling water
  • Microfiber cloths
  • Cream of tartar (for polishing)

Vinegar to Hot Water Ratio 

  • 1 part distilled vinegar
  • 8 parts water

Allow the cutlery to soak in the vinegar and boiling water solution for 15-20 minutes before cleaning with the microfiber cloth. If polishing, sprinkle the cream of tartar directly onto the damp cutlery and rub gently with the microfiber cloth.

Note: Work in a well ventilated room and avoid inhaling any fumes from the vinegar solution
