Is it a bad idea to clean a stainless steel urn with bleach?

Asked 3 years ago

My partner died a year ago, and she envisioned a stainless steel urn with a lovely design. The urn has streaks and spots from being on the display shelf for so long. I want her display urn to be bright and shiny to reflect her vibrant life. Is it bad to use cleaning detergent to clean the urn regularly?
