How to Remove Clorox Stains From Metal Stalls

Clorox, the brand-name bleaching agent, causes corrosion and staining on stainless steel and other metal surfaces, such as metal stalls. While not technically a "stain," the area corroded by the bleach often looks like one. Clorox must be cleaned up immediately if spilled or applied onto a metal surface, or the damage is permanent and no amount of effort can to reverse it. However, with diligence and elbow grease, minor Clorox stains can be removed or diminished.

Stainless steel cleaner
Stainless steel polish
Green abrasive scrubber
Baking soda
Rubber gloves
Soft cloths

Instructions

- 1
  Put on rubber gloves. When dealing with any cleaning task, it is better to protect your hands than pay for it later. Rinse off any Clorox that may still be on the metal stall.
- 2
  Mix one-quarter cup baking soda with 1 quart of water to create a cleaning solution. Apply it to the stall and scrub forcefully with the green scrubber in the same direction as the grain of the metal. Rinse the stall.
- 3
  Spread the stainless steel cleaner on the stain if the baking soda solution does not remove the stain. Scrub it again with the green scrubber, taking care to move in the same direction as the grain. Rinse it again.
- 4
  Use the soft cloth to apply the stainless steel polish to the metal. Rub it with gentle pressure and add polish as necessary.
