Will these remove hard water marks from a stainless sink without scratching it?

I really don't see it as being able to scratch any surface. It 'looks like ' a steel grid on the back, but it is not. A 3-M tough strength scrubber that can be purchased at home improvement stores would probably work even better. I am not a fan, but it is 'OK'

Elbow grease...lol...the silica is what removes the minor scratches by its abrasive/polishing action, what removes stains is in question??? Detergents what ever ones those be, maybe the same thing that is in Techron...anyway, I am a quantum mechanic not an organic chemist but highly recommend wearing gloves and not breathing too many fumes. The Le Creuset pan cleaner works pretty well too for cleaning the Kohler sinks, maybe both products come from the same fountain....

I bought these as a gift for a friend. Although I don't use them, I SEE them at his home all the time. I have never seen marks from any utensils or flatware. He likes the dishes and has never said anything about marks.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

I just tried it on my stainless steel dishwasher and stove, I used it very sparingly on a damp paper towel, then wiped it off with another piece of clean damp paper towel and polished it until it was dry. I came out shiny and clean with no residue. It did not scratch the appliances at all. You only need to use this product very sparingly as it goes a long way.

Not sure as I don't have it any more but I thought I'd chime in that you can clean up the old marks. There may be some plumbers putty and dirt but a scotch pad, water, and scrubbing bubbles extend a clean should do. A scotch pad may hurt some delicate counters so you can substitute a rag and elbow grease. The holes will line up in 1 3/8" standard 4" on center counter/sink.

It says not to use on stainless steel appliances as some finishes may scratch. I use them on my stainless steel pots and other material dishes and cookware all the time. I have not noticed any scratching

Not sure if they would leave marks... I have a wooden deck and it hasn't so far...

I had a very old (probably 15+ years) stainless steel sink and this did help, but did not completely remove water spots. However, with newer stainless steel items (up to 4 years old) it does wonders. It may not completely remove, but nearly so in spots that have been sitting. On new spots (last 3-4 weeks), it completely removed. You must rinse off completely with CLEAN cloth and MUST be careful of stainless steel grain. Hope this helps!!

They do not leave residue I use them on Tupperware and remove them with no problem. I have also used them on glass peeled them of and used them again on Tupperware.

Yes, but they leave aluminium spots. If you don't use the proper cleaner for getting them off, they will always stay there. I'm dissatisfied with the set because of this, it spoiled my glass top stove.

I have a stainless steel sink, but I have not had any scratches from this drainer.

No, they will scratch the finish. I use melamine spoons and flat turners found in most kitchen stores.

No. It is stainless steel. If you dry it as soon as you are done cleaning it never will. I've worked in the stainless steel industry. Even stainless steels can get water marks. A little steel wool should take care of that if you ever do get them.

We have a water softner due to hard water with iron. There are no hard water spots, but there is some scratching and dulling of finish. Overall pleased with sink. Love the wide sink. We use a plastic dish pan to wash most items, but have the wide sink for large items.

I'm sure it would get the "crud" off, but probably badly scratch your shiny stainless steel. They make nylon scrubbers that are very stiff, unlike the usual kitchen sponge/scrubbers. I use these on my good stainless, The Ringer works great on all of my black cast iron.

Any stainless steel polish will take those spots off. "Been there done that"..
