first...stay away from the stainless steel sprays. use baking soda on a damp cloth. rub with the direction of the groves. its lightly abrasive, rinse well. the stainless steel sprays are waxy- great shine when apply but lots of water spots when water hits it. just fyi....try putting a magnet on the stainless steel. it shouldn't fall off. if it does you have a stainless steel "look" the front is probably plastic. ya i wast to happy to have a "stainless steel fridge" that was fake.

Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner. I always include these as closing gifts for clients who buy houses with Stainless. I buy the wipes 2 or 3 do the whole kitchen. Wipe off spills, fingerprints let dry and finish with a light rub with lint free towel usually fingerprint free for a week or so.

no streak glass cleaner; everything else streaks!!

I am sorry, but I would not, not, not put anything abrasive on my new stainless steel appliances. I use Magic Stainless Steel cleaner & polish. I have tried a lot of things that did leave a waxy shine, this does not and I have not seen any water spots.

wegmans stainless steel cleaner....nothing but the best. They even had wipes so easy to use

There are numerous stainless steel cleaners and polishes on the market.

Buy the products specially made for it, works the best.

Before doing anything, I would read the "Use and Care" section of each owners manual for every appliance. Or look up each appliance on line, find your model and read the info there.
