Stainless Steel Appliances

Molly,

I use a product called De solve it that is for stainless steel appliances and it works great. I use a paper towel and get no streaks and you can find it at Dierbergs. I dont remember how much it cost but there are products out there for stainless steel that work fine. Hope this helps.

There is a powder type cleanser that is just for stainless steel. It works really well and I just use it with a wet cloth and then dry with a dry cloth.

I used to have a stainless steel cook top. It was a nightmare to clean because anything too abrasive would damage the surface. I used the Mr. Clean magic erasers to get off all the stuff my family didn't seem to notice was being burned on. My fridge is stainless steal and I just wipe it down with dawn and water then rinse and dry. I never have streaks. I do remember being told that armor all is good for protecting it but I can't remember from what. My biggest problem at the moment is kids finger prints always being on the fridge.

Method stainless steal cleaner or wipes work good too and they're environmentally friendly. You can get it at Target.

I have tried EVERY Stainless Steel cleaner on the market, and the one cleaner that seemed to work the best was Zep. You can buy it at Home Depot or Lowes. Good luck!

This is easy for one that doesn't like housework. Use 1/4 t. of Shaklee Basic-H2 in 1 pint of water. Spray soiled area then wipe clean. Allow to dry. Or you can just use the Basic-H2 Wipes and wipe with a fresh towelette. Call ###-###-#### or ____@____.com for how to purchase. The good news is you can clean your windows spotless with just 2 drops in one pint of water and they will be streakless too. You can also clean your hard surface floors and counter tops with tiny amounts. Not only is it easy, but there are no chemicals for you two and the baby. No odor either. Just perfect and low cost.

Ditto on the stuff from Sam's. The brand is Sprayway, and it's very inexpensive. They also make a window cleaner that's sold at Sam's, too. I believe you can buy individual cans of these products at places like Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens n Things, but buying the multi-packs at Sam's is much cheaper. I saw on an HGTV program that you can use cooking oil to clean stainless steel, also, but I've never tried it. It does make sense, though, as stainless steel cleaners are oil-based.

Walmart sells stainless appliance cleaners. Check them out, you may get lucky. Good luck and God Bless.

I use WD40. The lady at Sears told me about it. Smells a bit, but it does work. It doesn't take much.

I personally don't have stainless steel but I clean a ladies house who does. I just use the "Green Works Mult-Purpose Cleaner" and it works great. Good Luck!

I read somewhere that WD-40 will clean stainless steel.

Put a little WD-40 on a clean cloth...wipe your stainless steel...you'll be amazed. Cleans great and keeps finger prints to a min.

i just use regular dish water to clean my stainless steel fridge, then dry and wipe it down with a papertowel and mineral oil. Most stainless steel cleaners are mostly mineral oil.

I don't know if it will work on appliances but it works on cookware. the Pampered Chef has a new cleaner for the Stainless Steel cookware. HTH.

I haven't read the other responses so someone has probably already suggested this, but there is specific cleaner for stainless appliances. It works great. I'm not home right now, or I would give you the name. If you still want the name, reply to me on Mon. and I can give it to you then when I am home. I'm pretty sure you can find a general stainless cleaner though at a regular store.

I've used the stainless steel cleaners and they work pretty well. One trick though is to use an old tshirt instead of papertowels. Another trick is to just use baby oil. Don't use very much, but it will take the streaks away!

They make a specail cleaner for it. you can get it at sears.I think home depot and MAYBE walmart. just ask! it is a liquid and you kinda do it like a wax. put it on and wipe it off. it is very good.

try the Scotch brand stainless steel cleaning kit. it works
great.

programmed to NOT do housework!! and sometimes they are
worse than the kids when it comes to trashing the place! :)

Clean sink thoroughly with Bar Keeper's Friend...rinse well.

Clean other appliances with just a wet washcloth and a bit of dishwashing soap, then rise with clean water and dry.

Then put a small amount of vegitable oil on a soft cloth and buff them....

They will look like new !

Go to Mobile Express ( the one with the fancy schmancy car wash) go in 7 get a can on Sonny's Auto Glass cleaner. That stuff will clean just about everything. I haven't tried it on stainless yet but its definitly worth a shot. BTW why the heck do they call it 'stainless' when stuff like that happens LOL. Good luck.

Molly,

I know what a pain stainless steel appls can be!! I use a Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish Spray. I believe I got it at Wal-Mart. If you don't want to use spray, in the same section, there are wipes. Hope that helps.:) ~J.

They make stanless steel cleaner. You only have to use a little bit. We have had our appliances maybe a year or more and we have not had to buy any (we got a decent size sample bottle). It's great, you just put a little on a paper towel and wipe it down.

Baking soda, just make a paste of it with water and rub it on the area. Leave it for a few minutes and wipe off with a clean towel/washcloth and water.

I also have new applainces that are stainless steel. Since I am all about saving the dollar bill in my house I have used the easy rememdies you have stated and had the same results. I use a stainless steel polich that I go at walmart. It was about four dollars for a can of the stuff. It is an spray on stuff and the can is gray/silver. After you get it clean use this stuf and polich your appliances with a paper towel. No more streaks no more finger prints. I have a 12 year old a 6 year old and a 2 year old. The can't make anymore ugly fingerprints or write there names or leave me drawing on my stainless fridge or my stailess ovens. The one can has lasted me for over a year so far and I only use it once a month if I get time. try it it works.

Spray the appliance with WD-40 and wipe with a paper towel

Sam's sells a stainless steel cleaner... back in the janitorial section. It comes in a 3-pack of aerosol cans. Wonderful stuff! I clean a church and use it all the time on the sinks and drinking fountains. You just spray some on a cloth and wipe it.

Try vinegar and water or Pledge Multisurface (in the blue bottle). It's expensive, but it doesn't streak. I like to use a slightly damp dishtowel to wipe it off.

Good Luck!

I don't think you are supposed to use windex on the new stainless steel appliances. There is a stainless steel cleaner that you use. You might try vinegar and water to get the windex build-up off of them. I don't have all stainless steel but microwave is. I just use water and dry it to get the streaks off.

I have a product called Stainless Steel Magic, that is good! I like it on my stainless steel sink too! I think we got it at Home Depot when we got our s.s. refrigerator!

Good Luck

Wipe your appliances down with white vinegar...it's cheap and leaves it streak free! I saw this on HGTV and it works perfectly!!

Molly,
I haven't checked your responses yet, but according to my husband...WD-40 works great on Stainless Steel. We have stainless steel appliances, but are still using the cleaner that came with them. Funny that I read my email today, because it was just last night, while we were jointly cleaning the kitchen. (Yes, I am very blessed to have a wonderful husband that believes he should share the cleaning responsibilities!) Anyway, out of the blue he said..."You know, all you need is a can of WD-40 to clean stainless steel."
Hope this works for you. Best wishes, J.

I have used various stainless steel cleaners. What I like the best is not what I use but the cloth used to clean it. I use a cloth shammy/chamois (I haven't tried a leather one). It's made to get cars spotless so why not other things that are metal?

I cut the cloth in parts. One I use to help clean after applying the stainless steel cleaner. The other part I use to help get the cleaner off and further polish it. The one with the cleaner I have used over and over with just a little water without spraying more cleaner. If the appliance is really dirty I reapply the cleaner. Otherwise I just use shammy slightly damp. I'm sure you could use vinegar water as well. I have also used plain water and a microfiber cloth. I only use the stainless steel cleaner if the appliance has a lot of smudges or streaks. Otherwise the microfiber cloth seems to work well with a little water as well. Some materials like paper towels might be more prone to scratch the appliance and they won't polish as well.

Basic H2 and a microfiber cloth...will leave absolutely no streaks!
