Removing Scratches on Stainless-Steel Stoves

Stainless steel is a common material for stoves and other kitchen appliances because is resists stains, rust and heat marks. The metal is relatively soft, however, and it is susceptible to scratches. Over time, all stainless-steel surfaces will become scratched. Deep scratches require professional buffing to remove, but you can remove very light scratches on your own with a simple cleaning process.
