Brilio.net - Scuff marks on the outside of a thermos are often a problem that not only disrupts the appearance, but can also damage the quality of the surface. Small scratches that arise from friction or light impacts can leave marks that are difficult to remove, making the thermos look dull and unkempt. Although thermoses are used to maintain the temperature of drinks, these scuff marks can reduce the aesthetic appeal of the product.
In addition to damaging the appearance, scratches on the thermos can also affect the protective layer on its surface. In some cases, scratches can damage the paint layer or stainless steel coating that is intended to protect the material from corrosion. If the protective layer is scratched, the thermos will be more susceptible to further damage, such as rust or dirt that sticks more easily.
Well, before it gets worse, you can immediately remove these scratches immediately. No need to bother, just use the trick from Instagram user @melizah21 in cleaning the surface of the thermos. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that she only relied on one simple ingredient to make the thermos smooth again like new.

Next, rub the stained area using a damp cloth. Do this rubbing process until the scratch marks are gone from the surface of the thermos. If necessary, continue rubbing by pressing occasionally when there are stubborn stains.
