stainless steel cleaner..found!
Comments (8)I have just tried several different cleaning methods to remove fingerprints off of my range hood. The hood has a chase the goes up to a 12' ceiling with light hitting it from all directions. Everytime I thought I removed the fingerprints that were there from the installation, I would see them again when the light hit it from a different angle. I tried Zep Commercial, Rockit oil and Ceramibrite. I buffed all of them per the instructions but under some light the fingerprints were still there. I tried plain water. I tried Windex which left tons of streaks. White Vinegar worked very well but the winner was Isopropyl Alcohol. It removed all the oil cleaners and took care of the fingerprints. I decided to leave it without any polish. My thinking is that the polish leaves a slight oil film which will attract dust. I would like for someone else to try this and see what they think. At the very least it is a good prep if you want to apply polish without having the underlying streaks or fingerprints. I don't have my other appliances yet. I may try polish on those since they are easier to clean than the hood and chase....See MoreStainless steel sink ruined?from drain cleaner.
Comments (4)Call a local plumbing supply store that sells ss sinks and ask? I saw products in a local one I haven't seen elsewhere (for example, to remove scratches from ss sinks) so they might have something. Good luck!...See MoreStainless steel cleaner...
Comments (18)I have a stainless steel counter, stove, dishwasher, ovens, and fridge and have found, if I'm going to use a cleaner, that no one cleaner works on all of them. The cleaner that came with the ovens works best on them, Weiman Stainless Cleaner works best on the fridge and Stainless Steel Magic works best on the stove. I have never tried Dirtex, but I'm going to buy some because of all the other uses it has. That being said, I have had the very best success by not using any cleaner at all--just water and a microfiber cloth as laynie mentioned. It works beautifully once you get rid of all the previous cleaner that has been applied and it leaves no streaks whatsoever. My problem is that I have a cleaning lady who insists on spraying cleaner on the fridge. I'm just waiting for her to use it all up. I won't be replacing it. Maybe I should just hide it....See MoreStainless Steel Appliance Cleaner
Comments (2)Wolfe will give you a sample size of the Signature polish. It does work well, but I would have to clean my entire fridge to avoid streaks -- no spot cleaning. That was my favorite until I got a streak free microfiber cloth. It looks more like a folded paper towel than the microfiber cloths I've seen in stores. You just wet it, wring it and use it damp. Works on mirrors, windows and cabinets too. Perhaps the best thing about them is you can actually spot clean the fridge rather than have to clean the whole thing to get one spot off without streaks. Toss them in the washer and hang to dry -- really easy to use. We have a school group selling them here for a fundraiser so I was a sucker -- otherwise I probably would not have tried them....See Morecarlylake
