Armchem Store

Stainless steel is the crown jewel of modern kitchens. From fridges and ovens to sinks and dishwashers, its sleek finish adds a professional, polished look to your home or business. But here’s the catch: stainless steel can be surprisingly easy to ruin if you’re not cleaning it properly.

The good news? Most of the damage comes from common cleaning mistakes and with the right stainless steel cleaner, your appliances can stay streak-free and shiny for years.

Enter Luster Stainless Steel Polish: the game-changer that takes your stainless steel from dull and streaky to spotless and glowing.

Let’s break down the 5 most common stainless steel mistakes and how Luster fixes them.

 

 

 

1. Using the Wrong Cleaner

 

One of the biggest mistakes is grabbing any old household cleaner for stainless steel. Harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive sprays can scratch, dull, and even corrode the surface.

 How Luster Fixes It: Luster is specially formulated as a stainless steel cleaner that gently removes dirt, fingerprints, and smudges without damaging the surface. Safe, effective, and streak-free.


2. Scrubing against the grain

 

Stainless steel has a visible grain. When you wipe or scrub against it, you create tiny scratches that ruin the smooth finish.


 How Luster Fixes It: Luster not only polishes but also enhances the grain of your appliances. Just spray, wipe along the grain, and enjoy a flawless finish.

3. Using paper towels instead of microfiber 

Paper towels may seem harmless, but they leave lint behind and can even cause micro-abrasions. Over time, that means streaky and dull surfaces.

How Luster Fixes It:When paired with a soft microfiber cloth, Luster gives you a mirror-like, streak-free finish that lasts. No residue, no mess.

 

 

 

4. Ignoring fingerprints and smudges

Stainless steel is a magnet for fingerprints, grease, and watermarks especially on fridges and sinks. Leaving them untreated makes your appliances look grimy and neglected.

 How Luster Fixes It: Luster’s anti-smudge formula doesn’t just clean; it protects. One wipe keeps surfaces shining while resisting future fingerprints.

 

 

 

5. Over polishing with oils

Some people use baby oil or olive oil to “shine” stainless steel. While it may look good at first, it actually attracts dust and dirt, leaving behind a sticky, uneven surface.

 How Luster Fixes It: Designed specifically to polish stainless steel, Luster delivers a clean, dry, streak-free shine  without attracting more grime.
