Hi, what did you use to remove the tea stains? I tried to use the 3M on some new tea stains on my satin finished stainless steel rails (outdoor) but I couldn't remove them. The rails were installed just 1 week ago. Thanks for your advice.
Hi Sue, that's a tough one as tea stains are stubborn and the answer is tricky as it all depends on the type of stainless as some have coatings. To shorten it for you I will say always test a method and product on an unseen part first and wait till it dries to see what happens. I remove tea stains with either bery all amount of bleach or Jif if really needed BUT that always depends on the type of stainless so test on an unseen bit first. If I'm really scared of the type of stainless I will test a small amount of any quality car polish (one that is white not clear) and use that, and you can do the whole balustrade if it gets lots of stains. Try and avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives if you can and being outdoors you can also use baby oil to help seal it and prevent rust and stains. Oil is a stainless's best friend.
We have used the 3M Stainless cleaner from the get go and have never got tea stains. Sorry, but we've never had to remove tea stains.
A stainless steel rust remover product will remove the tea stains. Active ingredient: Oxalic acid. You will find this ingredient in Barkeepers friend, Cleanaworx steel rust remover, and many many other products. Oxalic acid powder is sold cheap at Bunnings. After the tea stain is removed, use a protective barrier like the 3m product or lanolin/silicone sprays to prevent it reforming.
