Hi Lena,

I've had this problem myself, and I used the solution below and it seemed to work...hope it helps!

Formula to Use:

Pure white vinegar

Method to Use:

1. Fill a clean spray bottle with pure vinegar

2. Spray the vinegar freely over the stainless steel & wait for a few minutes

3. If stains are stubborn spray more vinegar and wait a while longer

4. Simply wipe away with a clean cloth to reveal the shine

Tips: Sometimes stains are extra stubborn – for this make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Never use an abrasive cleaner like scouring pads, powders or steel wool as this will scratch the surface.

Good luck!

I have similar problems, and it became a pain to use that Stainless Steel cleaner that you had to like Wax in.  I hated it.   A friend of mine told me to spray Fantastic on ours, wipe it on... leave it for a few, and then use a damp cloth to wipe away the Fantastic.  It worked, and I was in awe.   Try it and see if it helps.  

Also - if you have hard water stains in your area where the water collects from the ice/water machine dispenser area, soak a little Lime Away there for a bit.   It comes up.
