How to Get Rid of Scratches on a Kohler Stainless Steel Sink

Constance Barker

The Kohler company supplies a large variety of kitchen and bathroom fixtures, such as stainless steel sinks. Stainless steel, while an enduring and tough material, is not immune to scratch marks. Scratches stand out on stainless steel, particularly when a grain runs along the sink surface, which can leave the sink looking old and worn. Removing scratches from a Kohler stainless steel sink can transfer it from looking dated to looking new again.

Get Rid of Scratches on a Kohler Stainless Steel Sink
  1. Rinse the Kohler stainless steel sink with cool water and a dishrag.

  2. Dry the sink with a soft cloth.

  3. Apply 2 tbsp. of stainless steel cleaner to a damp sponge. Wipe the entire sink with the cleaner.

  4. Wet the sponge and wipe it over the sink, rinsing the cleaner from the surface. Dry the sink with a clean cloth.

  5. Pour 1 tbsp. of stainless steel polish onto a damp cloth. Rub the polish over the scratches in the sink. If the stainless steel has a grain, work the cloth in the same direction as the grain. Apply medium pressure to the cloth as you rub.

  6. Inspect the scratches. If they remain, pour an additional 1/2 tsp. of the polish on the cloth and continue rubbing until the scratches fade.

  7. Wipe the polish from the sink with a soft, clean cloth.
