How to Keep Your Stainless Steel Appliances Shining?

Stainless steel appliances are the latest trend when it comes to kitchen appliances and can add a POP to your kitchen remodel. They guarantee a balanced heating of foods all while never disturbing flavors. But they can be a pain to clean and keep clean! Here’s how you can take the pain out of cleaning and keep them looking fresh:

1.  Clean with water and a cloth- Microfiber cloths are the best option when cleaning your appliance because they absorb the water and are safe to use without scratching the surface.  You will want to avoid using paper towel or any cloth/towel with a rough surface.  Dry the appliances along the grain to avoid water spots. 


2. Only use a drop of dish soap- Use mild dish soap and warm water for most cases but be gentle.  If the stain or marks will not come out, use white vinegar as a cleaner.


3. Glass cleaner- To remove fingerprints, use glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth.  This will eliminate the unwanted fingerprints!


4.  Keep a stainless steel cleaner on hand- Be sure to read the directions before you use the cleaner and test it in an unnoticeable location.
