Removing Burn Marks From a Stainless Steel Counter

Burn and scorch marks on your stainless steel countertops can make them look unsightly. While most stains might just rinse off the stainless steel, you may be struggling to remove those burn marks from the counter. Using a nylon scrubbing pad and a few household items, you can eliminate those dreadful scorch marks from your stainless steel counter for good.

Bucket
Mild dish detergent
Sponge
Nylon scrubbing pad
Baking soda
Distilled vinegar

Instructions

- 1
  Fill a small bucket with lukewarm water and mild dish detergent. Dip the nylon scrubbing pad into the solution and clean the stainless steel surface. Remove all food debris and dirt particles. Rinse the surface with the sponge and water.
- 2
  Sprinkle baking soda lightly over the burn marks.
- 3
  Dampen the nylon scrubbing pad and begin scrubbing the baking soda over the burn marks for several minutes. The slightly gritty texture of the baking soda will erode the burn marks as you scrub. Remove the baking soda with the sponge.
- 4
  Add vinegar to the surface and apply more baking soda if the burn mark still shows. Scrub with the nylon scrubbing pad until you remove the burn mark.

  Clean the counter with the mild detergent solution and sponge. Wipe dry.
