Is Comet safe to use on Corian, Formica, porcelain, fiberglass and stainless steel. Yes. Comet Cleansers, Comet Soft Cleanser and Comet Bathroom Sprays are all safe to use on these surfaces.
Comet® Soft Cleanser Cream is a strong household cleaner for bathrooms, kitchens, and the rest of your house. Despite its effectiveness and cleaning power, it's still gentle enough for delicate surfaces such as stainless steel sinks, marble, and granite.
Cleaners such as Bon-Ami, Bar Keepers Friend or other typical household cleaners are recommended. These cleaners can easily be used with warm water, sponges or clean cloths. Remember to always scrub in the direction of the polish lines so that your efforts blend with the surface of your sink.
Use Comet® Soft Cleanser with Bleach on your counter tops and kitchen sinks and stoves to clean tough stains, greasy soil and dried-on-food. We also have a concentrated version - our Comet® Ultra Soft Cleanser with 2X the cleaning power.
Common causes of stainless steel corrosion include chlorides, hydrochloric acids, sulfuric acids, iron or carbon steel contact, and high temperatures.
Step 1: Clean the Stainless Steel
Now, take a soft, microfiber cloth and choose one of three cleaning methods for the stainless area: polishing cleaner like Comet, vinegar, or stainless steel cleaner. Work the cleaner into the stainless steel with the microfiber cloth until it is thoroughly cleaned.
To remove fine scratches, cleaners such as Comet, Revere Stainless Steel, and Copper Cleaner can be used to gently buff stainless steel. If you can't find any of those, appliance manufacturers often make their own cleaners that are easy to find at home improvement stores.
Sprinkle the Comet into both basins. Moisten a normal dish sponge with water then make a paste with the Comet. Wipe this paste over the entire surface of your sink and the faucet.
Despite being labeled as "scratch free", the label for Comet cleanser also advises the use of plenty of water on "delicate surfaces". Comet powdered cleanser is not recommended for use on silver, painted surfaces, walls, soft plastic, aluminum, and rubber.
Removing the Scratch
Fine scratches can be removed with common store-bought consumer cleaning products, such as Revere Stainless Steel or Comet.
Abrasive cleaners like Comet and Ajax - as well as abrasive sponges and scouring pads (steel wool, copper, etc.) - will scratch stainless steel, marring its finish. With steel wool, tiny fibers can lodge their way into the sink and begin to rust, making things even worse.
- Countertops and kitchen sinks: Cleans tough stains and greasy soil, and easily cleans dried-on food. - Toilets: Cleans rust, and bleaches out tough stains. - On delicate surfaces, like plastic, imitation marble, appliance enamel, and aluminum, use plenty of water, rub gently, and rinse.
Fill a spray bottle with equal parts water and white vinegar. To make the vinegar solution smell better, you can add a few drops of lemon juice. Shake the bottle well and spray the stainless steel surfaces you wish to clean. Wipe your appliances with a soft cloth, being sure to follow the direction of the grain.
Dish soap: The surfactants in dish soap lift oil and grease, making it ideal for cleaning stainless steel. We used Dawn Ultra and Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dish Soap. Warm water: A small bowl of warm water—or a sink nearby—works.
For fine scratches, cleaners such as Comet and Revere Stainless Steel and Copper Cleaner are non-abrasive cleansers that will gently buff stainless steel. They come in a dry powder that needs to be combined with water or as cream-based cleaners that go on the metal a bit smoother.
When a stainless steel sink looks dull, it's often because it's been scrubbed with cleanser that contains chlorine bleach, with a bleach-loaded scrub pad, or — worst of all — fine steel wool that comes pre-loaded with detergent and bleach.
We can safely say that chlorine and chlorine products are among the greatest enemies of stainless steel - certainly of the most commonly used quality, SS 304.
Polishing With Olive Oil And Flour
Mix equal parts olive oil and all-purpose flour together until you have created a thick paste-like substance. Apply the mixture to the surface of your stainless steel appliance or fixture using circular motions until you get an even coat over the entire area.
