how to remove spots of paint from stainless steel cooker?

lollol

foolishly had kitchen painted yesterday without the cooker being covered now just noticed lots of paint spots on it. How can I remove them without ruining my new cookerplease

I'm assuming its emulsion that you have got on your cooker. Any standard cleaner will shift it eg Cif or similar. Emulsion is a water based product so it will come off easily.

I use my thumb nail

I find this breaks my nails or chips the varnish. And nail extensions are simply not the same!

Just plain water, emulsion is water based so it should come off.
Dont use any sort of cleaner except what you use to normally clean it.
My other half ruined mine just 6 months after we bought it by using a
normal 'kitchen' cleaner.

Again, water, water and more water.

As said just wet the area with water,let it soak a while then lightly scrape spots off with a blunt item like a plastic credit card

Or a thumb nail...

or use a green nylon scouring pad. with hot water.

Have to admit the thumbnail approach is most satisfying, and is easy to control the pressure.

lol, this thread definitely made me laugh.

Try letting the water soak in for half an hour, you should find the spots easier to scrape off then (whatever method u use).

If u aren't certain about how your method will affect the surface.., just try on a tiny unseen bit, walk away and come back again the next day for a close and distant inspection.
