How to Clean Specific Stainless Steel Items
1. Stainless Steel Appliances (Fridge, Oven, Dishwasher, Microwave, etc.)
Quick Clean:
- Wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and dish soap.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Dry immediately with a dry microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
For Streak-Free Shine:
- Spray white vinegar directly onto the stainless steel.
- Wipe in the direction of the grain using a microfiber cloth.
- Buff with a few drops of olive oil or mineral oil to restore shine.
✅ Pro Tip: Always wipe with the grain, not against it, to avoid streaking.
