I'm really struggling with my stainless steel kitchen island. No matter how much I clean it, it always seems to look dirty. I've tried using stainless steel cleaners, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water, but nothing seems to work. I'm not even bothered by the scratches, just those pesky stains that make it look gross. Any tips or advice?

Yeah, try Bar Keeper's Friend on a small patch first to see how it goes! I've used it for sink stains and it handles rust spots pretty well. Just keep an eye on it and good luck!
Have you tried using Bar Keeper's Friend? It works wonders on stainless steel surfaces. I use it on my pots, pans, and even my gas cooktop, and it really makes a difference. Just double check if it's suitable for your countertop first, though!
Stainless steel can actually come in different grades, which means not all of it is created equal when it comes to stains and corrosion. If it's not passivated, the surface can start to rust and stain easier. So, if you want to avoid those dirty-looking marks, make sure you're using high-quality, passivated stainless steel.
That's a great point! Passivation really helps keep the surface clean and resistant to staining.
