How to Clean Oxidation From Stainless Flatware

Stainless steel is a shiny, strong material often used to make kitchen flatware. It can be hard to keep clean because fingerprints, smudges, and streaks show up easily on the surface. Flatware should be washed thoroughly and dried immediately after use to prevent damage. Utensils soaked too long in water can oxidize. Failing to promptly remove food from stainless steel can also cause oxidation. Does this Spark an idea?
