Would this work on a stainless steel sink? Mine's rusting a tad &amp; I can't replace it yet, so I'm hoping to seal it for now. Advice please &amp; thanks!

Its not going to be durable enough. Stainless needs to be in contact with air to be free of rust.I would try a silicone wax first like nufinish. Its inexpensive. Some types of stainless dont like to be underwater for days or weeks because of the carbon content of SS. Wax will help. Good luck.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

It works fine on brushed stainless -but am not familiar with the spot resistant stainless. I guess, if it's spot resistant - do you even need to polish it? It is the easiest, best product I have found - it used to take me a long time to clean my appliances - and now - it's a matter of minutes.

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

I'm not sure because I don't have a sink to test it. But when I did have a stainless sink,I used SoftScrub and it wasn't bad.

Keep it clean as long as you can. That is why you buy a new one! They are great, and really protect the sink!

Rest it on its side up against the side wall under your sink it should work. Or adhere it to wall there.

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

I have two Kraus sinks - both with the grates. One sink is nearly 2 years old and the second is 8 months. Neither grate is discolored at this time. I believe the grates are constructed of Stainless Steel material. I have tested them with a strong magnet and they are not attracted to the source. Stainless will not rust, but some grades of stainless can become discolored when exposed to some chemicals and some household chemicals can be extremely strong. I would suggest you contact Kraus for guidance either by phone or email. Dan

I have no idea what kind of "pads" they use. I do not have a stainless steel sink. Mine is Staron and it is molded with the countertop so there is no sink edge/rim. The Staron has not scratched at all from the rack feet.

I haven't prevented the rust. Perhaps spraying it with some clear sealer would work.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in thé right....you can.turn.it. thé inky advice i have is to be sûre to make thé hole where your water fixture goes in thé center. Without thinking i put it centered on thé big part of thé sink and it cant reach thé small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have à fixture with à pull out to reach thé small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for thé cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

Don't use a sealer as it will damage the finish. Use clean the sink with dish soap and after drying apply a thick layer of cooking oil. The sink looks great for few weeks and basically repeat the process. Our sink is the black one and don't know about other colors.

Yes that was the unfortunate thing that happened with us also. We went to lowes and got a new one to replace the one that came with it. Also we had to go back in and reseal so it worked with the plumbing. Kind of a pain. But we love the sink. Good luck !!

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

I had no luck with this in my stainless steel sink. It is possible that it will adhere to your tub better, but I am skeptical. On the positive side it isn't that expensive and if it work that's great, if not think of it as an expensive cup of coffee.

I used it on my kitchen sink. it looked great for a few weeks but then it started to wear away. Better to have it professionally done.
