Brushed stainless steel fridge freezer HELP

One train of thought is Baby Oil, I haven't tried it, but some people on the web say it works

I think phoenix posted something about Mr P cleaning stainless steel? Will have a look - unless you're lurking somewhere, Phoenix?? It involved scrunched up foil...

Or try ehow! (online help for everything!)

I was just going to suggest the very same thing berdie. I clean my stainless steel hob using soda water (read it somewhere) and once it is dry a wipe over with baby oil brings it up beautifully with no scratching at all.

Aha! Will try that.

WD40 is also good. Spray a little onto cloth and wipe.

Thank for all those. I remember reading the scrunched up foil. But shiny side or dull?

Olive oil is what I would try.

Here I am!

Yes, Ariadne is right. Mr P cleans all of our stainless steel things (kettle, toaster over front, bin etc) with scrunched up tinfoil, shiny sider out, dipped in a little water.

Our family business years ago manufactured stainless steel goods, huge kitchen canopies etc. the guys in the workshop would only use baby oil to clean an item before it left the workshop to go to site.

stans I use it on my stainless steel oven and canopy and it works a treat.

Here in Germany we have a stainless steel liquid cleaner for matt or shiny. Its perfect. You buy it in a good drogerie, cleaning section.

My kitchen fitter advised me to use baby oil on my SS splash back. Works like magic.

Same here nina, our kitchen fitter recommended baby oil. So far I'm using e cloths with reasonable success, damp to clean, dry to shine up. What is happening to us on gransnet, delighting in domestic threads.

If you have a SIL like mine who thinks I'm an incompetent nit wit but allows me to look after his children you NEED threads like this. Many thanks for this. I just have common or garden white goods that are happy with an ecloth. I will print out this except for the last bit and Sellotape it to a prominent place.

I use a product from our local 99p store called 'Astonish', Stainless Steel Cleaner. I think it is very good but I like the baby oil solution I will try it.

Clean with a drop of fairy liquid in warm water, dry with paper towel then use baby oil on fresh paper towel to go over WITH the grain of the brushing.

specki4eyes, that sounds like the plan. This is reminding me of the granite work top thread a while ago. As well as stainless steel, our (fab) new kitchen also has granite tops. The kitchen fitter said they should be washed down with a drop of washing up liquid in warm water, and then dried/polished with a dry tea towel. I confess I am loving having the time to do stuff like this (only once a day mind) whilst listening to radio 4 - years of working full time, with children, grandchildren, ageing parents, health stuff etc seems to have given me the ability to enjoy a little quiet domesticity. Not too much though....

Iam i do so agree . The one place I can get thinking Me time is when I announce I'm closing down the kitchen for the night. They run the bath, go and empty their bowels, gaze at blank pooter screens,anything except the nitty gritty of life.
