Have new double stainless-steel sink installed in kitchen and have some residue left behind under sink.
What would be best approach to remove?
Thanks

Hi @MaxB,
Thank you for your question about removing residue from your new stainless steel sink.
It looks like the residue might be adhesive from a sticker that was attached to the sink. Is that correct?
If so, I'd suggest using De-Solv-it Sticky Spot and Stain Remover and steel wool to remove the residue.
Apply the De-Solv-it, wait 30 seconds to a minute and then in a circular motion, rub the steel wool over the residue, applying a small amount of force to remove it.
You may need to use a damp cloth to remove any of the leftover De-Solv-it.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

To be honest it's a brand-new apartment so no idea what it came from but was like that since we moved in.
It is a bit sticky when touching with hand so would agree might have been left from some adhesive from a sticker.
it appears under sink is painted or coated with something? which option of steel wool would be best option to use?
Thanks
Mike
Hi @MaxB,
If the underside of the sink is painted or coated, you might like to start by applying the De-Solv-it and using one of the non-scratch scourers that I can see in your second photo.
It's fairly likely that this will be sufficient to remove the residue.
If it doesn't work, I'd suggest using the super-fine steel wool.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
