Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Dip a clean microfiber cloth into the solution and wring out excess water so the cloth is damp, not soaking.
3. Wipe Down the Surface
Gently wipe the appliance surface following the grain of the stainless steel. Avoid circular motions, which can cause streaks or scratches.
4. Rinse with Vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly spray the surface. Vinegar naturally breaks down grease and disinfects without harsh chemicals. Wipe off the vinegar with a clean microfiber cloth, again following the grain.
5. Dry and Polish
Dry the surface thoroughly with a dry microfiber cloth. To bring out a brilliant shine, apply a small amount of olive oil or mineral oil to a cloth and rub it onto the appliance in the direction of the grain. This step not only polishes but also helps repel fingerprints and smudges.
Tips for Maintaining Stainless Steel Appliances
Avoid abrasive scrubbers: Steel wool or rough sponges can scratch the surface.
Use microfiber cloths: They’re gentle and reduce streaking.
Clean spills immediately: Prevent staining or buildup by wiping spills as soon as they happen.
Test cleaners first: Always try new cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area.
Regular maintenance: Wipe your appliances weekly to keep them looking fresh.
