On my stainless steel appliances left in Ohio, a nice clean soapy rag followed by a nice clean dry rag did the trick.

The new stainless steel appliances in my Villages kitchen are driving me NUTS.

The first thing to realize is that most of these kitchen appliances of any brand do not have "stainless steel" surfaces, but are brushed chrome plated cheaply. Stainless steel does not stain and it does not get fine lines of rust in the "grain" of the brushed pattern.

I'm seeing more black glass surface appliances in makeovers and new homes, and it looks nice. With any of the choices, a hot water wrung out microfiber cloth with white vinegar spray will make them sparkle better than new.

You can do as you please I'm just saying.
You touch the doors you touch the handles then you touch the food .
Spray it in the kitchen area to wipe off
='s Cross contamination
Send an e-mail food inspector and get their point of view

I tried Pledge, but eventually it built up and I was just pushing the stuff around on the ss. Now I use Weiman's and a mitt I bought at Home Depot (bright green on one side, blue on the other), and it's perfect.

An appliance repair person told us to use Baby Oil. Works great. A drop or two on a paper towel till you need to re apply on the paper towel, and cheap too

Gracie,

Many years ago when we had our cleaning service I received an email of twenty or more uses for WD 40. It worked great but a little expensive. I now use a product called Super Tech at Walmart. It is very inexpensive and works great, just like WD 40.

A friend of mine swears by olive oil. I haven't tried it yet.
