Stainless steel silverware can become tarnished and stained in spite of its name. Often cleaned in the dishwasher, stainless steel silverware can develop rust stains and water spots that are difficult to wipe off without any cleaner. Homemade cleaners work to remedy this situation, with products you probably already have at home. Use them to spruce up your stainless steel silverware.
