How can I clean my stainless steal appliances.....?

Question

without buying something special from the store? Does anyone have a simple recipe?

Answer 1

To make 8 oz

    * 8 tablespoons soap flakes

    * 4 tablespoons whiting

    * 2 tablespoons household ammonia

    * 2 tablespoons water

Combine all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Transfer the cleaner into a glass jar, close it tightly, label and store out of the reach of children. To use, spread the cleaner onto the stainless steel pieces with a clean soft cloth and rub. Then rinse and buff to dry

1. Water and a cloth.

Routine cleaning can be accomplished by using warm water and a cloth. This is the least risky option for cleaning stainless steel. Dry with a towel or cloth to prevent water spots. Wipe in the directions of the polish lines.

2. Mild detergent, (dish washing liquid) and cloth.

For cleaning that needs more power, mild detergent and warm water can do a great job without damaging the stainless steel. Make sure you rinse the surface thoroughly to prevent staining and spotting. Towel dry to prevent water spots which can be caused by minerals in water.

3. Glass cleaner for fingerprints.

Fingerprints are one of the biggest complaints about stainless steel, but can be taken care by using glass cleaner or household ammonia. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry. There are some newer types of finishes for stainless steel that resist fingerprints, a must if your pint-sized helpers leave their mark on your stainless steel appliances.

4. Stainless Steel Cleaner.

If you’ve had staining or scratching, or need to polish your stainless steel, a stainless steel cleaner may be a good option. Some of these cleaners and polishes can help minimize scratching and remove stains. They also can polish stainless steel surfaces nicely. Read the directions on the stainless steel cleaner and test in an inconspicuous spot. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and towel dry.

Answer 3

No. My sister had a stainless steel refrigerator exterior and she said that windex, vinegar, and surface cleaners did not do any good. She had to buy the stainless cleaners recommended for the finish. Nothing else worked AT ALL. And, the way she used the stainless steel cleaner was she sprayed it on the appliance and cleaned with a dry soft cloth in circular motions. Used another dry cloth to remove residue.

Answer 4

Vinegar and water or Windex.
