Comments (4)I have their small chest freezer (from costco) and have had it for nearly 3 years without any problems. NONE. I was going to comment similarly...except for the hassle of schlepping back a return,Costco is AMAZING. I did notice that their new chest freezer is a Danby (when I was there last week)...not sure if that means anything....See MoreHeat Marks on Kitchen Aid Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
Comments (3)Thanks so much sail-away for taking the time to check the Wolf recommendation for staining & cleaning. I proceeded cautiously with the Penny Brite to make sure I wasn't headed down the wrong path & then kept my fingers crossed as I continued. LOL I'm also interested if other stainless gas ranges or cooktops have similar issues over time. The cooking store where I purchased the Penny Brite seemed to think the 3 years of usage was a short period of time to experience the discoloration on a cooktop. Of course, it seems for this model there is a known issue. My memory from the applicance manual the cleaning recommendations are fairly innocuous & mostly useless -- vinegar to clean water spots, wipe with a soapy cloth. I mostly use the soapy cloth/sponge & a Windex or Pledge multi-surface wipe, then at times finish with a SS wipe. You shouldn't have a problem for a while. I'm so relieved to find the Penney Brite. I hope all will be well with using it. It looked so bad I was willing to take the risk. It has been about a month since I cleaned the cooktop & the stains haven't returned. Hopefully I'll only need to use it once or twice a year . . ....See MoreWater Marks on Asko Stainless Steel
Comments (1)Try Citrushine Polish, available from several sources including Sears and Target for about $4. It really does work the best on stainless steel to remove sticker glue remnants and water stains....See MoreFed up with stainless steel marks!
Comments (17)You may have created a messy build-up trying to use a few different recommendations. I did that the first few months. Something oily will stick around for a while...try something else, and it reacts with an earlier attempt. I created a horrid chemical reaction and my fridge turned black and blue. What works for one may not work for your stainless. I did not panic. lol. Giving it a good work-out rub down with Bon-ami, twice!, then a few damp full rubs with clean cloths, then drying with another few clean cloths will get all the gunky cleaners off...so i do not use any oils anymore. They attract dust and you can't even touch them without a smudge. I can now do a mini swipe around the handle and the leading edge once a month and a full clean and rub-down every three months. I have a kitchen skylight that rakes the fridge on sunny days so i see every speck. Something will work for you eventually, but stick with it. And first give it the time to really clean it with a de-greaser like Bon-ami in the direction of the grain if it has one. My gas cooktop has a different stainless surface than my fridge. It just likes a spritzer soaking with Biocleen, 5 min and everything wipes up easily. A water/vinegar mix spritz to get the soap residue and it is sparkling....See Morecat_mom
