Finishes of stainless steel when described as satin or brushed or a little to subjective to be accurate. Usually brushed is polished using an abrasive built to show a directional grain, satin is generally smoother by either using a fine abrasive or using satin brushes that don't really have a grain. Satin is most commonly used for household appliances especially in Europe.

What do you use to clean satin nickel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All types of nickel hardware, including satin nickel hardware, can tarnish. For this reason, it's very important to stay on top of your nickel cleaning. Cleaning all nickel hardware is done the same way. First, wash the items with a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse them completely and then dry them with a soft, lint-free cloth. If you have stubborn stains on your satin nickel cabinet hardware, you can combine baking soda with just enough water to create a paste. Then, cover the hardware with the paste and let it dry. Finally, run each cabinet hardware piece under warm water and buff dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. If you are still having problems with stains after using the baking soda, then try a silver cleaning polish. Follow the directions on the packaging to ensure that you don't scratch the metal.

Finally, if the satin nickel cabinet hardware is really heavily stained, you can try giving it a bath! Remove the hardware and place it in a bath with one part ammonia and three parts water. Make sure that the hardware is completely submerged and allow it to soak for half an hour. Then, rinse each cabinet hardware piece with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth.

How do you make satin rosettes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think i have made them before....First you should get these white almonds.(that's not the name for it, but they do look like white almonds). Then you will have to get some strong green tape.Michales might be the best place to get this stuff. Then, you need thick silk. You should probably get pink or red silk. Then, You will need these sticks that are green, and kind of skinny. Sorry, I don't know what any of these things are called. I think you will now have all the items. It is pretty easy to make them. * First you wrap the silk around the almond and strongly hold it * Then, while you are still strongly holding the silk and almond, you use the tape and tape the silk and almond to the stick. * Make sure it is sturdy. * Now you are all done! Another Answer from another viewer- we have made them by sewing sides of a 2" x 3 1/2" piece of silk together to make approx a 3 1/2" long cylinder. Turn inside out (seam on inside) and tape one end (with floral tape) to a wood stem. Tuck the top of cylinder into itself to complete your rosette. You can also fill them with birdseed or rice prior to tucking the top in, if you plan to use for a wedding, and add leaves for more detail. Hope this helps.

Do you have to sand and prime satin latex paint to paint over with an eggshell latex paint or can you just paint it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Eggshell and Satin are very similar. Though i would recommend scuffing the walls with a sanding block or sandpaper to help with adhesion . Also current and new colors will make a difference, you may need to use primer if applying a lighter color over a darker one or if there are excessive stains on the walls.

How do you turn satin paint into flat paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I prefer to paint all walls and ceilings satin. I have no idea why people just automatically think that ceilings have to be flat...or even white. I do satin on the ceilings because of dust, yes dust does stick to the ceilings, esp near AC vents and around ceiling fans. Have you ever tried to sweep your flat white ceiling to get the dust off after a few years? It just smears. I think satin ceilings make small rooms brighter and larger. You must use satin or semi on the ceiling in the bathrooms, a bathroom environment is the one interior space that is actually most like an outdoor space with water splashing, steam, humidity, extreme temp changes, I wonder if it would be best to use exterior paint in the bathroom. For ceilings though I pick a white with a bit of grey and go all satin.

What color shoes should you wear with a chocolate brown satin dress with a gold sash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would go with gold shoes to match the gold sash, or if you aren't into buying the gold shoes (won't wear them again) a similar color to the brown dress, say a shade lighter. Darker would work if you don't like to draw attention to your feet, but women's feet are generally prettier than they think they are.
