So you got your brand new stainless steel appliances and you soon find out, it doesn't take long for fingerprints and other messes to show. No need to worry. Cleaning your stainless steel appliances isn't as hard as you think. Just follow these tips and your stainless steel appliances will look just as good as the day you bought them.
One sure fire way to keep that stainless shiny is by using vinegar and oil. Here's how:
First, liberally spray your stainless steel with vinegar then use a paper towel to wipe the vinegar off in the direction of the grain. Second, dip a soft cloth in olive oil (or another mineral oil of your choice) and polish the direction of the grain to give your stainless a nice shine.
Another way to keep your stainless steel fingerprint free is by using a mixture of 1 teaspoon of dish detergent and one quart of hot water. Use a microfiber cloth to apply the mixture in small sections by rubbing with the grain. After applying the solution, rinse immediately with warm water.
Another simple solution for removing finger prints from your stainless steel appliances is using glass cleaner. To do this, simply spray glass cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe the areas being cleaned in a circular motion. Then rinse the appliance off and dry with a towel.
And the final option to consider for cleaning your stainless steel is using stainless steel cleaner that you can buy most anywhere that cleaning supplies are sold. These cleaners are made specifically to clean and polish stainless steel and should be considered for especially difficult stains.
Stainless steel can greatly improve the look of your home and now that you have these tips, keeping your new appliances clean and shiny should be no problem.
