Will this clean stainless steel flatware (silverware)? My "silver"ware is stainless steel and want something to clean the dark areas in it. Thanks

I have used this equipment for: ink cartridges, injectors, valves and much more. It is of very good quality. To clean steel silver or dark areas you'll be fine if you use appropriate detergent.

If its brushed stainless I don't know how well it will clean it. But on smooth metals it is a great cleaner,polish. I have tried numerous different metal polishes on my motorcycle,and this is the best I've used so far.

it says it is good for all metals, so I think it could be used on stainless. Bust a stainless cleaner is likely cheaper.

Stainless cleans great in the dishwasher. Even with black coffee, I would just put it in the dishwasher with everything else at night.

It works well. I have brought up the shine on 1920s-1930s Rogers & Bros flatware that I even found in a root cellar and simichrome worked magic. I find it less abrasive than MAAS, yet more effective at removing unwanted patina/dirt/darkness. Or, in some cases like bronze or silver where the patina enhances the piece in spots, the less abrasive nature of the polish allows for strategic polishing. Example: a vintage Mexican silver bracelet with beautifully worked silver, the darker parts that enhance the piece are blended into the bright fully polished silver of the parts that look best when shined. Tip for flatware: a dry "medium" to "hard" toothbrush (bristled) a little seed bead sized amount of simichrome placed directly on the prongs of fork or pattern. Brush it in where discolored or dark then use a dry white cloth or durable (Viva, for me) paper towel to wipe off & buff.

yes, we use it on stainless steel. shines/ cleans nicely. it does take a bit of buffy to take off though. be prepared for a little elbow grease

I use it to clean my stainless steel sink. It removes the film and buildup from everyday use and also leaves a protective coat so water just beads up on it.

Absolutely, it makes cleaning it a piece of cake. The best stuff on the market for stainless.

Yes to a great extent. You may have to work with the piece over several applications and wipe offs. I strongly recommend the cleaning cloth from the same company. You may also want to go at the piece with some cleanser first. When the tarnish actually pits the silver, not much can be done.

I have only used it on silverplate and sterling-nothing as big as a stainless dishwasher!

Since I would never even think of putting mine in the dishwasher, I haven't had that problem. If I had done that, I might try baking soda or Bartender's Friend to see if either would remove any of the discoloration. Both are very fine abrasives which I find work well on my stainless steel sink. Also, a metal polish called MAAS works well on lots of metals, including sterling silver as well as stainless steel. Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend using this on stainless appliances. My daughter used it to clean our stainless microwave. The stainless steel is now sparkling but it took a ton of effort. Similar to removing heavy tarnish from silver, the cloth turned black. I think she went through 2 rolls of paper towels to finish the job. Now the microwave looks much shinier than the other appliances and is difficult to keep clean. I use CLR Stainless Steel Cleaner once a month. It's effortless, just spray and wipe. Leaves a nice shine that deters fingerprints & smudges. A damp paper towel is all that's needed to clean between applications. I wouldn't recommend using this on stainless appliances.

I've not tried to use it to clean silver, as I purchased Brilliant's Silver Cleaner to do mine. It worked really well for silver. This product does just as well for gemstones and gold jewelry.

I just want to "ditto" on the hand wash only. I had a beautiful shiny silver pan that was washed in the dishwasher at work. Now it is so ugly - blacked and whatnot. I just popped out here to buy a new one. And I will make sure to NEVER leave it at work after a potluck again.

I'm not sure since I don't use it on the stove top which is black enamel under the burners not stainless steel. It does seem to remove debris left on dishwasher, fridge, and compactor. I pretty much agree with the other responders. I, too, would check with the manufacturer as to the wisdom of using this type of cleaner on the stove top, if that's what you were meaning.

It works great removing white water spots from my black porcelain sink. If your stains are not set deep into the finish it may work for you. But if you think stains are deep set it may not work. It's a paste with micro scrubbing grains in it that scrub without scratching the surface and leaves my black sink looking polished. Hope this was helpful.

I think it will. My daughter - in - law had some brown stains and rust spots and with some scrubbing the sink is spotless but it was stainless steel. Try to contact the manufacture of the product to see if they recommend this on porcelain.
