With a fair bit of scrubbing, you can get it sparkly again. It tends to stain slightly, though this is purely a cosmetic complaint. The only problem we’ve had with the stainless-steel bench top is keeping it clean. It comes in two sizes to accommodate your workspace. And since you’re likely to use a lot of chemicals - lubes, greases, cleaning products - the stainless steel means a longer life for your bench top. The stainless-steel shield helps a lot here.
