We updated our entire kitchen upon purchase, new tile, paint, granite tops re-finished cabinets, Window treatments (Window Tint a must in Breakfeast Knook) and STAINLESS appliances. It makes a 15 year old kitchen look brand new! As for maintenance, we always have a bottle of windex close at hand. A few sprays and wipes with soft paper towels and they are always shiny bright. We love the look and we love the new kitchen.

Yes, MSDS sheets were available and of course mandatory. We had "WD" everywhere. In our stationary and portable tool boxes, trucks, cranes, etc., because it was so versatile. We new it wasn't the proper thing to do, but when your covered in oil, grease, and especially never-seez (like liquid graphite) and soap and water aren't working, you're not worried about msds sheets. What you must keep in mind is, this was a coal burning power plant, and we were subject to so many toxic things, a little "wd" didn't seem to bad. Not right, but back then when things didn't get reported, or when they did and were ignored, you did what you had to do.

and will do it again. Everybody, including my SIL told me I'd be sorry.....not sorry and I love the shine!! Pledge, multi-purpose - a clean microfiber cloth - fingerprints get on the handles sometimes, with general use, but come right off...a lot of the cleaners that are specifically for SS appliances warns not to use around food...hello, this is a kitchen...and I'm sorry, but the WD40 just sounds too smelly for me..I'll stick with the Pledge, since it works well. And BTW my SIL got SS appliances when she recently redid her kitchen, but I didn't say a thing about what she said about mine

WD-40 works great for lots of things, but it drives the cat crazy.

Well said

I just don't like the look of SS. I think it looks industrial. Nice in a restaurant kitchen, but not in mine. But, to each his own.

Glad to see the how everyone likes WD-40.

My chemical plant makes the key ingredient for WD-40.

Beef tallow is the key raw material. Fat is slippery. Nuff said.

I never cared for the look of stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Now that I have them I can't stand them. Every time water drips from the dispenser in the 'fridge the whole door needs to be wiped down all over.

I can't wait til we can replace them with black like I chose for my kitchen up north!

Thank you all for the wonderful information...I love this forum :-)

Awesome! WD-40 is exactly what we use.
