Best​​​​Way​​​​to​​​​Clean​​​​Stainless Best​​​​Way​​​​to​​​​Clean​​​​Stainless  Steel​​​​Appliances  One of the questions that I tend to get asked a lot is how to clean ​stainless steel                   appliances​. Since we are working in the kitchen for this month’s Household             Organization Diet, I thought that this would be the perfect time to answer it and have             even​ ​been​ ​doing​ ​a​ ​little​ ​experimenting​ ​on​ ​our​ ​own​ ​stainless​ ​steel​ ​appliances​ ​as​ ​well.                                                          First off, there are many different grades and types of stainless steel so what is best for               mine, may not necessarily be best for yours. Even with our own appliances, I find that               the stainless steel on our fridge and dishwasher cleans up much easier than the               stainless steel on the oven. What I recommend is starting with the most economical               cleaning option and expanding out from there if it is not working for you. I have really             tried to cut back on the amount of cleaning supplies that I use and stick to green                 cleaners as much as possible. Finding cleaning products that serve multiple purposes                                                                                                                                  

2. will help to save you a lot of time, energy, and money, so look for products that you                   already​ ​have​ ​in​ ​your​ ​home​ ​first​ ​before​ ​going​ ​out​ ​and​ ​buying​ ​something​ ​new.      No matter what cleaning method you use, there are a couple of general rules of thumb               to​ ​follow…                                      1. Do​ ​not​ ​let​ ​the​ ​cleaning​ ​agent​ ​dry​ ​on​ ​your​ ​​stainless​ ​steel​.​ ​​ ​Give​ ​it​ ​a​ ​wipe​ ​and  buff​ ​it​ ​with​ ​a​ ​dry​ ​cloth.  2. For​ ​the​ ​most​ ​part,​ ​less​ ​is​ ​more,​ ​so​ ​use​ ​your​ ​cleaning​ ​product​ ​sparingly.​ ​​ ​You  can​ ​always​ ​add​ ​more,​ ​but​ ​using​ ​too​ ​much​ ​product​ ​can​ ​definitely​ ​eat​ ​up​ ​your  time​ ​and​ ​will​ ​require​ ​more​ ​scrubbing​ ​and​ ​polishing​ ​to​ ​get​ ​it​ ​off.  3. Wipe​ ​in​ ​the​ ​direction​ ​of​ ​the​ ​grain.​ ​​ ​For​ ​all​ ​of​ ​our​ ​appliances,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​side​ ​to  side​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​up​ ​and​ ​down.  4. Invest​ ​in​ ​good​ ​microfiber​ ​cloths​ ​as​ ​you​ ​will​ ​need​ ​them​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​what  cleaning​ ​method​ ​you​ ​use.​ ​​ ​I​ ​use​ ​a​ ​Norwex​ ​polishing​ ​cloth​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Norwex  cleaning​ ​cloths​ ​for​ ​80%​ ​of​ ​my​ ​cleaning​ ​and​ ​have​ ​had​ ​the​ ​same​ ​cloths​ ​for  about​ ​3​ ​years​ ​now.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​one​ ​time​ ​that​ ​the​ ​dollar​ ​store​ ​clothes​ ​just​ ​don’t  cut​ ​it.    I generally just use the Norwex polishing cloth and a water bottle {filled with either plain               water or a 50:50 mix of water and vinegar for extra cleaning power} to clean my                 stainless steel and will give it a quick wipe as part of my daily kitchen cleaning routine.                                                                    

3. If it is extra dirty and greasy, I will use a microfiber cloth first to scrub and then use the                       polishing cloth, but, honestly, that is rarely needed. While this works great on the fridge               and dishwasher, it does leave a slight streaking on the stainless steel on the oven. For               the most part though, it is pretty insignificant and, for the sake of time, that is usually all               that​ ​I​ ​use.                                                                              Apex​​​​Security​​​​Engineering​​​​Ltd Flint​​​​Road,​​​​Letchworth​​​​Garden​​​​City,​​​​Hertfordshire​​​​SG6​​​​1HJ 01462​​​​673​​​​431 www.apexengineeringgroup.com
