How to Remove Scorch Marks From Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a smooth and pristine metal that repels stains and complements modern décor. Heat stains can develop on the stainless steel if you place a very hot pan directly on the steel. These marks are sometimes black, purple or green. Remove the marks as soon as they occur to prevent them from becoming a permanent part of your appliance.

Terry cloth
White vinegar
Scouring powder

Instructions

  Soak a terry cloth in white vinegar. Terry cloth has a raised nap that will help you scrub the stainless steel without scratching it. Let the stainless steel cool enough so you can clean it without burning yourself.

  Rub the terry cloth over the scorch marks and along the grain. Use as much pressure as possible to buff off the scorch marks.
