What NOT to clean your stainless steel appliances with...
Comments (15)Stainless steel is widely used now a days. It is said to be strong but surely not maintenance free. it needs to be kept dry and away from things that can cause it to rust. As the metal becomes old, it loses its original shine and starts looking dull. At such times we tend to use all sorts of methods to make it look new. At such times we should avoid scrubbing the metal because this might create scratches on it. Use of acid based cleaners should strictly be avoided. These cleaners may cause harmful reactions and spoil the look and quality of the metal. Use of organic cleaners could possibly be much safer for cleaning stainless steel appliances. Here is a link that might be useful: Some organic cleaners...See MoreCleaning of stainless steel appliances
Comments (6)I've been using simple green to get grease off surfaces like the huge range hood. I generally use the Whirlpool SS cleaner (sample came w/one of the appliances, and I ordered a larger bottle). I just last week tried cheap furniture polish (_Behold_; now without beeswax) on the front of the fridge, and it did a great job at removing smudges and leaving a slick surface that has repelled further soiling. I'll see if it presents and bad side-effects, like a dull buildup, but so far I'm happy with my discovery. The thick SS polish has to be applied just so, and the surfaces have to be cleaned prior with some other cleanser, so the idea of getting it down to a one-step aerosol is great. Behold is about $2/can. Casey...See MoreNew Kitchen Sink--are square corners hard to keep clean?
Comments (27)Rita / Bring Back Sophie 4 Real -- We installed the Rachiele sink in 2017. There hasn't been any cleaning issue. Far better than the "normal" sinks we had before (several sinks, several houses and apartments). Although it was the most expensive "appliance" in the remodel, it's been worth every penny. I really love that the mess stays in the sink and the counter never needs more than dusting. Remember that Rachiele sinks aren't zero radius, they are about 3mm radius. That makes a big difference....See MoreWhite kitchens: how hard to keep clean?
Comments (16)As a boomer who's had white kitchens for most of my adult life, I don't have much basis for comparison. However, the difference in my attitude about keeping a white kitchen clean has changed dramatically since I got introduced to my new BFF: Her name's Magic Eraser! What an amazing little helper. IMHO, that little sponge has managed to elevate spot cleaning white cabs, moldings, backsplashes, etc. from a boring, functional task to a work of art. Okay. Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but now that I've got my ME, I'll never go back! lol...See MoreGina_W
