A few months ago we decided to replace our white kitchen appliances with stainless steel. Within one hour I missed my white appliances. Sure the stainless looks FAB, but OH MY GAH.......what a pain to keep clean with 4 kids running around.
If you don’t believe me check out my dishwasher for yourself.
Yuck, gross, disgusting. I don’t see any fingerprints, but look at all the streaks from water splashing while loading the dishwasher, UGH.
I had no luck with the cleaners for stainless appliances so I “googled” my problem and found many tips on ways to clean stainless so after a few rounds of eeny, meeny, miny, moe I chose one and gave it a try. Look at how beautiful my dishwasher is now!!!! {This isn’t the best picture quality considering my shadow goes down the entire front, but you can get the idea.}
I used two products to get this result:
and
EASY PEASY!!!!
Step One: Using a microfiber cloth clean your appliances with the rubbing alcohol {rub in the direction of the grain}. This will remove all fingerprints and grime. Make sure the appliances are dry before moving on to the next step.
Step Two: With a new microfiber cloth apply a thin coat of mineral oil to your appliances. I applied the oil all over and wiped off any excess.
I folded the mineral oil cloth and put it in a Ziploc bag. Now when my appliances need a little touch up I just reach in the bag and use the rag!

Life saver! Our dishwasher is a mess and it's quite depressing. I tried using white vinegar and it terrified my husband who was convinced I would ruin it. I'll have to wait until he's out of the house to try this one.. :)
That made a world of difference. We were thinking about going with stainless but I have heard so much that I may end up staying with white.
Great tip! I just ran out of my expensive stainless steel cleaner, so this is perfect timing. You ROCK!
