Ever noticed rainbow stains or white spots on your stainless steel pan?
Don’t worry—it’s perfectly normal, and easy to fix.
Let’s break down what causes it and how to restore your cookware’s natural shine.
🔎 Why Does Stainless Steel Discolor?
When stainless steel is exposed to heat, minerals from tap water or acidic foods can leave:
- Brown heat tints
- Rainbow streaks
- White calcium spots
These are signs of use—not damage—and they don’t affect performance.
🧼 How to Remove Discoloration (Two Easy Methods)
Method 1: Vinegar Soak
- Mix vinegar and water (1:1 ratio)
- Simmer for a few minutes
- Let it cool, rinse, and wipe dry
Method 2: Baking Soda Polish
- Sprinkle baking soda on the spot
- Add a few drops of water
- Gently rub with a soft sponge
✨ Done. No chemicals needed.
💡 What About White Residue?
Minerals in hard tap water can leave white spots or rings.
To remove:
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water
- Let it sit for 10 minutes
- Wipe clean with a soft sponge
