How Do You Clean Stainless Steel?
I have all stainless steel kitchen appliances and the obviously get finger prints. I've used stainless steel cloths, ss cleaner, window cleaner, micro-fiber towel, urgh to no avail. I read online to use olive oil, all it does it add oils to it to disguse prints. Any ideas? How about how to clean the sink from water spots?
P.S. As beautiful as they look in my kitchen I would NEVER recommend them!

I agree - stainless steel, though pretty is a HUGE pain (unless you get "clean steel")
Believe it or not, I had great luck with baby wipes!

Lemon pledge and a microfiber cloth works for me.

We use pledge. It works! In the sink, I use vinegar, but I don't really have trouble with spots.

I clean my ss sink with comet cleanser... I would not recommend that with your appliances.
My mom has ss appliances. She uses windex and then has a shamwow type cloth that she goes over them with just a hint of water...
YMMV

For my stainless steel pots, pans and sink I use Cameo Stainless Steel cleaner. It makes it shiny like new money. Don't use this on your appliances because it will scratch the finish. I believe vinegar/water will work. You could add a few drops of essential oil to give it a different scent or slightly improve the scent.

I clean my sink with baking soda or borax. I also love Method products but am trying to spend less on cleaning supplies--their bathroom cleaner works great on sinks and they make a Stainless Steel cleaner that I have not tried, but again their products tend to work well and smell lovely.

I use the wipes by Wegman (I think-they also make leather wipes and such). I wipe down the fridge then you go over it with a dry cloth and it comes out gorgeous. We get lots of drips from the ice/water and it takes those out along with the fingerprints.
