I do not have stainless steel appliances. However, my neighbor has them all. I think she would have a stainless steel bed if she could find one. Walking into her kitchen is like walking into a bright, shining display of diamonds. I think she is the authority on cleaning stainless steel. I asked her to write down how she keeps everything so shiny. She gave me three methods that she uses. Take a look.
First is the use of a microfiber cloth. She dampens it with water and then wipes down the surface. She immediately wipes it again with a dry microfiber cloth. She says she always wipes with the grain. I did not know that stainless steel has a grain.
Next, she uses rubbing alcohol. This dissolves oil quickly and leaves no streaks.
Last but not least, she turns to Bar Keepers Friend for the stubborn stains and water spots. I use this on my glass top stove. It is a miracle worker.
She also recommends wiping down the surface once a month with a few drops of olive oil. I guess it repels smudges and dirt.
Now you have it. Go forth and shine!
Meanwhile .... keep it simple and make it real.
