One in four Australians plans to update their kitchen within the next 12 months.
And, can you guess which room survey responders said was the one in most need of renovation? Right: the kitchen.

If you’re interested in updating the look of your kitchen without spending a lot of money, there are numerous things you can do quite affordably: among them, removing scratches from your stainless steel sink to help it look like new again.

Here’s how:

First, rinse your sink with water. When done, place the stopper in the drain and then fill your sink with warm warm water and dishwasher soap. To protect your hands, wear rubber gloves. Then, grab sponge once the sink is full and wash the surface of your sink while it’s still full.
Once you’re certain the sink is clean, pull out the stopper and let all the soap and water drain. If you find that you missed a spot or two, use the same sponge to clean them up.
Thoroughly dry your sink with a dish towel or rag.
Pour a small amount of a liquid abrasive cleaning product or a specialty stainless steel cleaning product onto soft scouring pad. Be sure the cleaning product is suitable for stainless steel. In a back and forth motion, rub over the scratches until those areas blend in with the sink surface around them. Periodically wipe away the cleaning product residue to measure your progress.
If your sink has a grain, just be sure to rub in the same direction to achieve a completely blended effect.
Once all the scratches have been removed, wash the sink one more time with warm water, liquid dish detergent and a clean sponge. Afterwards, wipe the sink dry.
For added shine, apply a stainless steel sink polish, following the package directions.

Once you get your scratched up sink looking new, you’ll probably have a notion to dress it up even more with a new faucet. Whether it’s that or any other project that involves plumbing, Kalamunda Plumbing is here to help make your kitchen look and function like new. Just as we’ve been doing for area home owners dating back to 1954.

We’ve used Kalamunda Plumbing for various jobs over the last few years. They are always friendly, punctual and professional (from the reception staff to the workmen and apprentices). Their work is of a high standard and they give honest and reliable advice.

With water flooding the kitchen, Kalamunda Plumbing arrived with minutes to fix the problem and stop it getting worse. We always use them, and they are fantastic. Could not recommend them enough. Absolutely 5 stars!

Amazing service from KP. Thoroughly recommend. Very reasonable rates too which was fantastic. Will call again.

Quick response time. Excellent service. Replaced our solar hot water system the next day. Very happy 😊

Can't recommend these guys highly enough. They came, they found the leak quickly, fixed it well and replaced all the paving. Anthony gave good advice about my future hot water options and the price was also excellent, so what more could you ask for?

Outstanding service, prompt call out, quick installation, great follow-up. Exceeded expectations, as a result they will be our go-to for all plumbing services from now on.

I started which I hope is an ongoing working relationship with kalamunda plumbing this week.We were working on multiple residencies and I found them to be very caring and courteous to tthe customers.

Great Service and very professional.

I have given Kalamunda plumbing 5 stars but only because I couldn’t give them 6!Kalamunda Plumbing we’re absolutely fantastic! I had a burst pipe somewhere on my property (3000 sqm) leaking at 1L per second. I tried 4 different plumbing companies before coming across Kalamunda plumbing. The first company made me wait two days and then forgot my booking, the next one couldn’t help me for over a week and the last quoted me $1200 for the job and still had to wait three days. I called Kalamunda plumbing and they arrived the very next day. Anthony found the burst pipe within 20 minutes to the exact location, dug down and repaired the leak. The whole job only took 2 hours and was 1/3 of the price I was quoted.They were professional, helpful and friendly. I will now be a customer for life. I have shared my experience with all that I know in my area.I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for everything! When the need arises I will be back!

Job done on time on budget and great advice from a good tradesman's

We had a large amount of water bubbling up between the pavers down the side of our house. After a quick call around and a few dead ends I got hold of Kalamunda plumbing.

Highly recommend and definitely will be using for any future plumbing work.

Trent and Barry from Kalamunda Plumbing did an excellent job. As well as fixing the problem in a timely manner, they gave me some good advice on a number of other potential plumbing issues

One thing that I really appreciate is a tradesman that arrives when they say they will, especially when you have taken time off work to have your hot water system replaced.Kalamunda Plumbing were on time and I can't believe how quickly the work was done, and at a reasonable price considering that they did an urgent repair for me. Everything was back to normal again so quickly, mess cleaned up and they adjusted the water temperature so that it was not hot enough to scold me.Well done to everyone involved at Kalamunda Plumbing, greatly appreciated.Regards Russell

Does toothpaste remove scratches from stainless steel?

Apply the toothpaste to the toothbrush, and work the solution back and forth over the scratch following the grain. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the toothpaste and see if the scratch is gone. Repeat the process until satisfied and apply a light coat of stainless steel polish or olive oil.

Can baking soda remove scratches from stainless steel?

Baking soda is quite effective in removing light scratches on stainless steel. It has a powdery texture that serves as a gentle abrasive. Add water and baking soda to make a paste, put it to the surface of the metal and scrub lightly. Then wipe off the baking soda and wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
