Matt steel, no need for anti-limescale: the only ingredient capable of polishing it | Go to the kitchen

Everything that is made of steel is beautiful to look at, it always looks shiny, shiny, elegant. However, after years, it can happen that it suddenly loses its shine and you find yourself in front of a dull steel that you simply don’t know how to recover.

There are many reasons why steel becomes opaque. Once ruined, it loses its original beauty and even seems to be always dirty. However, this is not a problem because there are tricks that, if implemented, allow matte steel to be cleaned quickly, making it as shiny as ever.

Remedies for polishing dull steel.

To polish dull steel, you cannot avoid resorting to the use of vinegar, known by housewives and not only, loved by practically everyone for its multiple properties, both cleaning and polishing. It is not for nothing that it is used to wash and degrease dishes, sinks, stoves, but also to whiten clothes and remove stains. You pour the vinegar over a soft microfiber cloth, then run it directly over the steel, then rinse with warm water and you’re done. It is better to use soft sponges because abrasives can irreparably scratch the steel. Once this is done, dry very carefully using a soft microfiber cloth. Vinegar removes not only streaks but also stains, making steel look as dull as new. The remedy is in the kitchen, you don’t need to go and buy products such as anti-limescale, which do not always give the desired result.

Citric acid is another ally for cleaning

Another product that can be useful for cleaning dull steel is citric acid, which is even more environmentally friendly than vinegar. You only need to dissolve 150g of citric acid in 1 liter of demineralized water. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray it directly onto the steel, then leave it on for a few minutes. Wipe with a microfiber cloth and dry the steel well using circular movements as if cleaning a glass. This way the steel will be as good as new. Few people know this, but citric acid is a natural descaler, so it is the best thing to use to clean steel faucets, which are always exposed to water and therefore tend to accumulate limescale. Citric acid is often used, among other things, to clean appliances in which limescale forms over the months and years.
