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....
