Enamel is a smooth, durable surface widely used for bathtubs, sinks, tiles and appliances. Stains can eventually show up on your enamel caused by rust, soap scum and everyday grime. Maintaining the beauty of your enamel surfaces is easy if you use the right products. Don't use harsh abrasive powders and strong chemicals when cleaning enamel. The glossy surface can be chipped, eroded and scratched, leaving unsightly marks that can be costly to repair.
