What do you clean your stainless steel with?
Comments (10)I use a Dobie pad with a little bit of dish soap (I like Seventh Generation Unscented Dish Liquid), wiping with the grain, then wipe with damp microfiber cloth, and if I feel the need to, I'll wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. I don't like "stainless steel cleaners" because most tend to be heavily scented, and also, why spend money on an additional cleaner (and use up undersink storage space) when the Dobie pad and dish soap work as well if not better. Edit: The above is for appliances and hood. For my stainless steel sink, I use Bar Keepers Friend in the sink. I also use Bar Keepers Friend on my stainless steel pots and pans.

Comments (3)I will probably start another thread BUT do you use degreasers ALOT on stainless. I don't but I was going FANATICAL on my hood that night. However, this is a big IF however. My hood manufacturer, BROAN, does not recommend anything except warm water. They advise such chemicals can ruin the grain, discolor the finish, etc. I am sure they are ~erring~ on the safe side of things as some chemicals like Easy Off Oven Cleaner can be real harsh like LYE, etc....See MoreDifferences in stainless steel appliance's stainless steel
Comments (7)The other option is to just get over it. :) A kitchen is a workroom. Most people prefer to choose best in class from many different manufacturers to ensure their work room works efficiently. No manufacture makes best in class in each category, so if you choose the best functioning DW, you will probably end up with a different brand range and a different brand fridge anyway. As long as everything IS stainless, it's fine. And, there are plenty of people who even mix stainless and non stainless successfully. Anyone who comes in your home and turns their nose up at coordinating stainless appliances that do not necessarily match needs to be thrown out of your home....See MoreHow Do You Store Your Stainless Steel L-Square Ruler?
Comments (6)OMG, I just came across this post. I was waiting for an email to notify me of responses. I had forgotten it entirely. I am opting for lazygardens response. We use our L-square ruler quite regularly. I am always finding something on pinterest (to keep my hubby busy) that needs sawing or hanging. Thanks for all your responses.
