How to Remove Plastic Residue on Stainless Steel

Plastic residue accumulates for a number of reasons, whether it be residue left behind from product manufacturing and packaging, or plastic that you use on the stainless steel surface. No matter what the reason, you must remove the plastic to keep the stainless steel looking its best. Use removal tools that lift the plastic residue off of the steel surface without causing damage.
