Question For Those With Stainless Appliances...

Sunshine Kate — Sun, 19 Feb 2017 16:07:55 GMT

I clean mine with a very soft damp microfiber cloth. I've read the slight film put on these stainless appliances has to be rubbed off.

How long does it take to come off?

TIA

@Sunshine Kate- how long does it take the film to come off? I didn't really think they had a film on them. In any case, I clean our refrigerator door and dishwasher door with a damp paper towel. That's all it takes.

all kinds of SS appliance cleaners out there. $ store carries them.

Water marks running down from the ice and water dispensers is the worst.

Plain water isn't gonna get rid of them.

I use Lemon Pledge to polish my stainless steel. Works very well. Name brand works better than generic.

Weiman s/s wipes, but I don't think that's her question. Not sure what the OP means by a film? @Sunshine Kate Do you mean it came with some stuff similar to saran wrap? My new fridg did, but it's black. The delivery people removed it.

@pattypeep, when I bought my stainless appliances, the salesman told me to only use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water.

But, he said there's a slight film on the appliances and that must be rubbed off first. I see the film and clean as was told. However, it's taking a long time to get the film off.

I thought you posters would know what I'm talking about. Guess I better go back to the store where purchased and have him clarify.

I don't think the appliances would have come with a film if they weren't supposed to. All of them are like that. (The one's I bought).

(No, I'm not talking about the plastic film that gets pulled off when new).

Thank you!!

@Sunshine Kate I understand now what you are saying. We had a ss fridg before the one we have now and there was no mention of a film. That being said, we cleaned it with Weiman ss wipes. We have dogs that left noseprints, but our "human" prints and it needed more than a soft cloth. Anyway, I wish you luck with your new appliance.

I don't recall any FIL on any of my SS appliances but I do know the best thing to clean them with is the bio cleaner cloths. They make them look amazing.

@ANewHue, what are "bio cleaner cloths"? I don't believe I've heard of that.

@Sunshine Kate. I bought them here they are basically for glass. You just use water and wring them out real well (that's the key) they are the best I've ever used on glass and SS. Also, when I'm using my steam cleaner I do hit all my appliances with it before I use the cloths. I just checked and they're not in stock but you may want to check with CS, they were popular so I'm sure they'll bring them back maybe in another configuration since we're coming up on Spring cleaning season.

I clean with vinegar.Sometimes with a towel or paper towels. I put white vinegar in spray bottles in all wet rooms, and my GYM. Cheap, non-toxic, no streaks, drops mic.

@Sunshine Kate the bio cleaner cloths are back in stock in two different configurations.
