All the stuff I know is way too dangerous to eat. Can you call the manufacturer? That's a pretty not robust stainless, period. Plus....you might he removing superficial rust but rust goes deep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stainless-steel-sink-scratches#post-1925893 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 05:15:23 +0000 Skadi 1925893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a new stainless steel sink, and to our dismay, it scratches and rusts at the smallest provocation. Set a glass cup in it? Scratch (I didn't even know that was possible). Leave a plastic tupperware container in the sink for two days? Rust ring. It's ridiculous.</p> <p>The rust can be scrubbed away with a sponge, but the scratches really bother me. Is there something we can use to buff out the scratches? Or at least coat the sink with something so it doesn't scratch more? </p>
