Stainless Steel Sink issue?
I placed a copper ornament into a plastic baggie full of Tarnx in my stainless steel sink and let it soak for 3 days to get the tarnish off, now I have a nasty stain I can't get out. I've tried steel wool..more Tarnx...Ajax...Soft Scrub...even a paste made of baking soda...anyone know how I can clean it up?

All resturant supplyers and used dealers use muratic acid, you may have to buy a few gallons and let it soak. Its cheap and at all home stores even wall mart just pour it in and let it work make sure to where protection (glasses and gloves) and ventilate the area it will have a strong oder but will clean any stainlees to a brilliant shine. unless you have a cheap coated stainless. it works.

Congratulations...You have permanently anodized your sink. You created an electrical field, with the right acids to anodize stainless.

Use Fine sandpaper, used to Wet Sand auto paint finish- I use it to clean my Stainless pots.

i'm afraid it is there forever. you might try filling your sink up with bleach water and let it set for a few days.
