Seeking advice for cleaning SS appliances

slh — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 12:21:17 GMT

I just redid my kitchen and now have stainless steel appliances. I purchased a product described as "best for cleaning SS appliances and leaving them streak free" - well it doesn't . I don't want to ruin the finish and want something that can be used on a daily basis. Thanks in advance.

Polish Stainless Steel Appliances

Stainless steel appliances are a gorgeous accent to any kitchen. Unfortunately, the metal is prone to finger smudges and other blemishes that make it look dull. Luckily, our friends over at Real Simple have discovered a great way to polish stainless steel appliances using olive oil.

Simply pour a drop of oil onto a rag and wipe down the machine. Once the marks are gone, use a paper towel to create a shine.

This tip is great if you’re looking for a natural way to clean because you’ll avoid harsh chemicals found in traditional cleaning products. Also, since you most likely already keep a bottle of this kitchen staple in your pantry, it’s a bit of a money-saver.

Thanks Lolakimono - another great recommendation.

Happy New Year to all Q board cyber friends.

I tried the olive oil, and had streaking on my appliances. I use Weimans on my fridge, dishwasher, two ovens, warming oven, and microwave and it works really well. I can have all of those appliances wiped down and buffed in 5 min....streak free. I can't ask for more than that. I was glad to hear about the olive oil....just didn't work, for me at least, as well as what I already use.

After trying many store bought specialty products that I was told I needed (which did not work well) A kitchen designer friend of mine told me that all you need is a clean damp microfiber cloth and WATER. All of those other products just build up on your appliances. I have used this method ever since with NO streaks or build up. Sometimes the simplest things work the best

I use white vinegar on a damp flour sack dish towel. I wash these towels and hang to dry, NO fabric softener, and use them for eye glasses, hard wood floors, windows, computer screens and all my SS appliances with a touch of vinegar. Shine and no streaking. And this gets everything really clean and sparkling, vinegar disinfects too. And ........... inexpensive and at your grocery store.

Multipurpose Pledge, the one in the blue can, does a good job.
