they get blocked with fat, run a hot cycle with it empty and a charge of washing soda in the dispenser for the dishwasher detergent.

Cement dust sealer is "Waterglass" and does make the surface shinier by putting a glass coat on the cement, should work there too

Saw this on holiday, the 70's called and want there decor back, can think of one or two on here that might think this is a smart repair... It is a sheet of stainless over a hole in the tiles, with a central bolt, the lighting was dim so the exposure was too long to be sharp. Even the soap...

It still should have had a packing sliver for the middle section of the hinge and the two other screws fitted, also as others say, not really fitted square on either side. the chippy should have turned up wearing a 10 gallon hat!

try citric acid, gentler than brick acid, will take a while though, use an old toothbrush to agitate the cleaning solution

only 4 or 5 of those look useable to me
