What do other members use to clean stainless steel doors.

I've used most things including the special stainless steels wipes but still get a smeared finish.
Also when the sun hits the doors the dust sits there looking at me and that's after I have just cleaned the door.

HELP

Clean with any of the chalky or paste-y cleaners, then polish up with a slightly damp e-cloth. Works for ceramic jobs too - I can't bear smeary or burnt on ones.

'Good cooks never have clean ovens' - quote on a fridge magnet.

I clean my stainless steel with ordinary kitchen spray cleaner then finish off with this stainless steel cleaner from Kleeneze. It polishes it up and helps to stop stuff sticking in future.

I use an e-cloth, smooth side for shiny stainless steel and the rough side, slightly damp, for brushed steel.

I knew I'd find a use for the baby oil that's been in the bathroom for ages [I think we bought it for the horse and she's been an ex horse for years]. Going to try it now.

Gave me a good giggle tonight. Thanks.

Galen Sat 05-Oct-13 18:36:18

I'll tell Kate!grin

This is spooky!

I came downstairs not long ago, to find Mr P attacking/cleaning/treating my stainless steel/chrome toaster with tin foil! shock He then went on to do the front of the oven. shock shock

Apparently he had read on line somewhere that the best thing to do was use tin foil, shiny side out, moistened with a little water.

I was horrified! I thought it would scratch the surface, but I have to admit it worked a treat.

PS I seem to remember posting this on another thread, but of course I can't remember which one.

Galen. grin

Agus Sat 05-Oct-13 18:24:20

I found Barkeepers Friend the best way to clean stainless steel. The only thing to leave the surface without streaks.

I buy it in my local ironmongers.

Galen Sat 05-Oct-13 18:23:10

My cleaner Kate!
