One shot drain cleaner ruined/stained sink - anyway to repair?

barginboyrob

Hello,

My new flat has had a clogged sink since I moved in. I finally got around to pouring some one shot drain cleaner (I.e acid) down it and it is unclogged now. However, everywhere it has touched my stainless steel sink has a mark (burn?), is there anyway to clean this?

Bar Keepers Friend might help - it got rid of some stains on my stainless steel sink.

Try toothpaste and a green scrubbing pad from the supermarket. Give it a good scrub and it should take the edge off the staining.

Funnily enough, we use acid to remove the discolouration left on stainless steel after welding.

A bit late now but you should have read the instructions where it says don't pour down the sink, best of luck finding something to bring it back to it's former glory because I never have

The acid would have etched into the steel, so it is not a stain and nothing will remove it, although you may be able to polish it out.
