Appliances that are smudge-proof stainless steel have a protective clear coating that makes them smudge-proof. Unfortunately, you can’t truly remove a scratch on this surface without also removing that special coating. Your best bet is to let the scratch be or protect it with a small dab of clear nail polish. 

You can risk the option of buffing out the scratches, and be very diligent in coating the area you buffed with oil to reduce the dullness. Just know that if you choose to buff it out, there’s a possibility that the spot won’t look the same as the rest of the appliance.

One of the easiest ways to make dull oven racks shiny is to soak them overnight in hot water and dishwasher detergent. After leaving them for at least 12 hours, use a scrub brush or sponge to remove the stains. For best results, repeat the cleaning process every few months to keep your oven racks bright and shiny.

If your old washer and dryer are still in working condition and you have space for an additional hook-up, you may be able to use them for things you don’t want in your household laundry, like heavily soiled work clothes. If the appliances no longer work, some parts may be salvageable for scrap—contact a scrap collector to see if they’ll take them.

While refinishing your appliances can make them look fresh, you may prefer to keep their original coatings as long as possible. The best way to maintain your appliances’ appearance is to keep them clean. You can do this by:

• Wiping up messes and spills on appliances as soon as possible.

• Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive cleaning tools.

• Handling objects with care near appliances to avoid scratching or denting them.
