Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Feb 23, 2013Gloves would be my first thought, but that is hard to do. There are several good quality stainless steel cleaners that should do the trick for you. Just try to stay away from the oily types. That is what makes them show even more finger prints. And Pledge falls into one of the oily types. It is funny however when there is a door handle how many other finger prints end up on the door? Lastly you could tape all the kids art work on the doors and hide all the fingerprints. We have not seen our fridge doors in years.Helpful Reply

Carol C on Feb 23, 2013Appreciate all the comments and will try them. The manufacturers always seem to recommend a product to use when in fact there are things you have around the house that will suffice. Have no kids so artwork is not an option, but thanks for the suggestions.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Feb 24, 2013Hee, hee...I had to giggle. I had stainless steel appliances back in the 60s and got really tired of them back then...so I will not be going to stainless! I found the stoves to be especially difficult to clean. Those products that cleaned off the grease, made it look smeared, so another product had to be used to make it look clean. Double work. Was so glad to move out and leave that stuff behind! I have been waiting for these posts to start!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Feb 24, 2013Do read the care instructions that come with the fridge. My new Fisher & Paykel specifically cautions against using stainless cleaner or anything or than a little liquid dish soap diluted in water.Helpful Reply

Carol C on Feb 24, 2013@Doug. My delivery guys told me to use water and a microfiber rag, which I tried and it works pretty good. I also googled "how to clean stainless" and they said the same thing, so I am taking your comments about stainless cleaners seriously and will stick to water and microfiber. Thanks!Helpful Reply

Capernius on Jan 26, 2016Vinegar cleans just about everything. take a 1 litre spray bottle of straight vinegar & spray it on the prints, or whatever you are trying to remove. wipe it down, let it dry, & the offending matter is history. for something that is a pain in the posterior to remove, add 1 - 3 drops of dish soap to the vinegar. let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes, then wipe it down. Never use a scrub pad on any stainless steel because you will have this one shining area & the rest will be dull finish. the only way to correct this one shiney spot is to sand down the entire appliance. when I say "sand down" I mean sandpaper...about 250 - 300 grit. doing this is A TON of work though...and is also a pain in the posterior.Helpful Reply
