How To Polish Your Stainless Steel Sink?

2025-09-18

Your stainless steel sink from FUJIA is crafted with premium features—such as 304 or 201 stainless steel, a nano honeycomb surface treatment, deep and well-designed slots, and an elegant modern/light-luxury finish. These details not only elevate its appearance but also affect how you should polish it to maintain shine without damage. Below are polished‐focused tips that align with the construction and treatment of your FUJIA sink.


Why Polish?

Over time, stainless steel sinks may dull because of water spots, lime scale, soap residue, and fine scratches. Polishing restores luster, evens out appearance, and helps highlight the nano honeycomb texture that gives FUJIA sinks their distinctive elegance.


Polishing Steps for FUJIA Stainless Steel Sinks

A. Gather Supplies

  • Soft microfiber cloths

  • Stainless steel polish or cream (choose a non-abrasive brand compatible with food-safe surfaces)

  • Mild dish soap

  • White vinegar or an acid cleaner (very diluted)

  • Olive oil or mineral oil (food-grade) for finishing

B. Pre-Cleaning

  1. Rinse off all debris, food bits, and soap residue with warm water.

  2. Use mild dish soap and a soft sponge (not steel wool) to clean the sink interior and edges.

  3. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Since FUJIA sinks use nano honeycomb surface treatment, this preliminary clean prevents polish from sealing in grit or dirt that can scratch the surface.

C. Remove Stains and Water Spots (Optional Deep Clean)

  • Spray a 1:1 mix of white vinegar and warm water on the affected areas.

  • Let sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a soft cloth.

  • For mineral stains or rust marks, use a stainless-steel safe cleaner applied gently.

FUJIA’s use of 304 stainless steel increases resistance to rust and stains, but mineral buildup is still possible in areas with hard water, so this step helps prepare for polishing.

D. Apply Polish

  1. Put a small amount of stainless steel polish or cream onto a dry microfiber cloth.

  2. Rub along the grain of the steel—not against it. FUJIA sinks are often brushed or finished with a consistent directional grain, which helps reduce visible marks.

  3. Work in small sections (e.g. around the slot, bowl, edges) rather than trying to do the whole sink in one pass.

E. Buff and Finish

  • After applying polish, use a clean microfiber cloth to buff the area with light pressure.

  • Once you achieve a sheen, for extra gloss, pour a few drops of food-grade oil (olive or mineral) on the cloth and wipe lightly across the surface. This adds shine and helps repel water spots.

Because of the nano honeycomb surface on FUJIA sinks, fewer oils are needed; overuse can reduce the texture’s slip-resistance.


What to Avoid

  • Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive powders—they will scratch both 201 and 304 steel and damage the nano finish.

  • Avoid bleach or cleaners with chlorides for prolonged contact—they may dull or stain stainless steel.

  • Do not polish when the sink is permanently wet or still covered with soap residue—always dry before polishing.


Tips for Maintaining Polished Appearance

  • Dry the sink after each use to avoid water-spot forming.

  • Once a week, polish lightly or apply oil to keep the shine fresh.

  • Periodically check edges and slot junctions (especially deep single/double slots) for buildup; clean and polish there too.


Why FUJIA Sink Designs Help Polishing Stay Effective

  • Nano Honeycomb Surface Treatment reduces visible water spots and makes polishing more effective and less frequent.

  • 304 Stainless Steel Models have better resistance to corrosion and scratching, which helps keep polish visible and long-lasting.

  • Light Luxury Style, with deep slots & clean lines, gives visible contrast once polished properly, enhancing aesthetics.


Final Note

Polishing a stainless steel sink isn’t just about making it shine—it’s about preserving the quality and visual appeal of high-end features. With regular gentle care, proper polish, and FUJIA’s advanced materials, your sink will continue looking elegant and virtually new for years.
