What is the best way to keep my stainless steel appliances clean and shiny?

Question

I have stainless steel in my new house and I get little water drip marks and such on my appliances. When I scrub to clean them off, the steel looks dull afterwards. Is there a special cleaning solution or somthing I should use? I'd like to keep them looking new.

Thanks for any tips!

Answer 1

Stainless steel cleaners are expensive. Try Windex with lemon extract. Or just a drop of lemon juice on a cloth then dry with another cloth. I learned this from my grandmother. It really works.

Answer 2

All you have to do is take a wet and soapy cloth. Wipe the spot, but if that doesnt work, try an antibacterial spray or even Windex.

Answer 3

try "WOW! Stainless steel cleaner". Works really well on my fridge.

theres a whole bunch of sizes, check out amazon:

Answer 4

you can buy expensive cleaner, but the best thing I've found is plain household ammonia.  Just put it in a spray bottle, and wipe down your appliances.  It leaves them super shiny!

Answer 5

Yes, stainless steel cleaner is available.

I've also heard of vinegar as a mild cleaner/polish.

Answer 6

try a small amout of toothpaste on a dry cloth whipe it all over the thing then turn the cloth around and buff it out

Answer 7

Well when I clean my stainless steel I use a all purpose spray that is a disenfectant or disenfecting bathroom cleaner for stainless steel in the bathroom.

I spray the stainless steel with that, take an old toothbrush scrub down the stainless steel

Then I spray again and wipe with a paper towel

Next, I take a stainless steel cleaner or windex spray it, then wipe with a paper towel
