Test It Tuesday — Scratch B Gone

They call it Stainless steel — not scratchless.

Nothing ruins the perfect stainless steel kitchen than a nice scratch on the surface of the stove top, the refrigerator or the grill. So when I heard about a product that could not just cover up the scratches, but remove them entirely, I got a little excited. So did Judy Lalama of the South Hills – our Test It Tuesday tester.

Scratch B Gone was a product that got a lot of exposure in industrial circles, but we were curious to see if it would be just as successful on the consumer side. According to Bethel Park’s Joe Spinnenweber, the local distributor, if you can follow a straight line you can use this product.

scratchSo we used Scratch B Gone on the scratches left by Judy’s husband, who decided to use some sort of wool pad to fix the surface of the family’s stainless steel range. As you might imagine, he was in Judy’s doghouse.

As you will see from the video, the product is relatively easy to use. It took not even ten minutes from start to finish to eliminate the scratches — and then a few more minutes of buffing and polishing to get the surface to look like new. Judy also found a few more scratches on the stove surface and used Scratch B Gone there …. and found the results to be remarkable. Worthy of four stars out of four on my Test It Tuesday scale.

Here’s the link to the Scratch B Gone website. It comes with both written instructions and a brief video to take you through the process. It lists for $54.99 and you can order your own kit online.
