How to Remove Scratches From Stainless Steel Using Scotch Brite

Scratches on your stainless steel appliances are natural due to the continuous use they receive, but those unsightly marks ruin the otherwise spotless finish and can deepen if not filled in. Scotch-Brite stainless steel cleaner is an easy-to-use system with premoistened pads that fill in the scratches on the stainless steel surface, and also eliminate scuffs and smudges from the durable surface. The cleaning pads are disposable and attach to a handle to provide even surface buffing and cleaning.
