Soap stains on stainless washers?

[myntran]

Hello, this is my first post. We recently purchased a laundromat in Mtlake Terrace, WA.

Some of the stailess steel washers have dried soap stains on them. I've tried hot water, white vinager, stainless steel cleaner but nothing removes these stains. What's the best way to remove dried soap stains?

Do a search on it. I know there has been alot of dicussion on this and alot of helpful info in the archieves.

To wipe the machines down lightly with baby oil.... I haven't tried it but maybe some of these old-timers know...

(I'm in Washington too.) ;)

I did a few searches and for the stains that sounded similar to mine (dried soap) people seem to like metal polish.

I have some and will try it to see how it works.

Thanks

I use some type of 'lime away' product and metal polish.

Expect to take a LONG time and a lot of elbow grease to get the shine back.

Once you get it there, be sure to protect it and wipe it down often.
