Stainless steel
 
Ladies. What natural cleaning products do you use for your ss fridge?

Mineral oil. Put a small amount on and wipe most of it off. It leaves an oil film which makes wiping small smudges off easier. I used to have to clean the darned thing every day - now it's just an occasional wipe.

a damp "magic" rag, like a chamois

i've also heard rubbing alcohol works good, too

A damp cloth with a little Ivory Liquid then dry well with a clean towel.

I use a little bit of baby oil. I do not have to clean as often.

A good microsoft towel rinsed in water followed by a dry microsoft towel. Works great!

It is not Natural but it is the best to clean SS.... "Shelia Shine" Nothing works better.

WD 40 works very well.

All of our previous stainless steel cleaned up nicely with a clean cloth dipped into a solution of dishwashing liquid and water followed by another clean cloth to dry.

These appliances are always streaked after I use that method. I have tried all kinds of cleaners with the same results.

I don't want to put oil on them. I want them to FEEL clean to the touch.

They are driving me CRAZY.

I use windex, not natural, but works very well.

I have tried Windex, doesn't work either. it leaves streaks too. I don't care HOW unnatural it is, I would like it not only to BE clean, but to LOOK clean.

I often wonder if the folks who design our kitchen appliances have ever used kitchen appliances. I have had stainless steel appliances in the past in two different homes and they cleaned up nicely with soap and water and CLEAN rags.

I'm with you. I don't give a rip if it's natural, as long as it cleans up the fingerprints. I have found wipes made by Weiman work really well, followed by buffing with a mitt from HD that's blue terry on one side and neon green shag-rug on the other.

In our last house, I tried many things. I found that once you go with the oily-type stuff (Weiman wipes, Pledge, etc.), you should stay with that type. A spray will then not work because you have effectively put a protective film on with the oily-type stuff. You would have to somehow get all of that off, I guess with really hot, soapy water.

I might try the mineral oil thing and see what happens.

I have heard that our pooches like the taste of mineral oil. [emoji2]

Also wondering if there is a solution to....
 
The ding in stainless steel appliances. Have tried dry ice with no success..
