I clean mine with a damp cloth. Then I dry it with a teatowel so it doesn't rust. Then I put a few drops of baby oil on some kitchen roll and rub until it shines.

Always make sure you
dry it after washing down with mild soapy water - it's wet marks that leave it looking it's absolute worse!
I have a SS cleaning spray too which gives it a nice finish after cleaning and leaves a
very slight oily touch which helps make clean ups after cooking spills a lot easier too and also removes stubborn stains that haven't been cleaned thoroughly in the past (hmmm, things like dog nose marks LOL)
HTH Teri :)

I don't really bother with much, just wipe it down with a sponse and some neat Fairy and then a clean damp cloth to rinse. It only gets filthy again when OH starts cooking dinner -lol. Bit of vinegar gets rid of smears if we have visitors!

When I bought a SS fridge freezer from John Lewis I asked the 'man' how they kept all the appliances fingerprint free and he said they only ever used an E cloth so I bought some. They are brilliant and only need to be slightly dampened then buffed off. I now use these cloths for everything and have stopped using products.
I have found fake E cloths in Lidl :-) Just as good :-)
Top tip - Glass Cleaner and kitchen towel.

Steam cleaner then a quick wipe down! Muddy paw prints all over at the moment after the rain yesterday!

Glass cleaner and paper kitchen towel, followed by a coat of Autoglym car polish ;)

Same as Flora2, Damp clean cloth then Baby Oil.... comes up a treat :)

Agree with the drying and then a rub of some kind of grease, it used to be the used butter packets saved just for the job. Only necessary once a week or so so though :)

I clean my stainless steel extractor hood with baby oil on a piece of kitchen towel. A friend told me this tip and I was reluctant to try it out as I thought it would just make a greasy mess but eventually gave it a go and was really surprised that it actually works. It stays really clean and grease doesn't seem to stick to it :-) I but the value baby oil from Tesco and it lasts for ever :-)

yup same here
SS hob sprayed with warm water to loosen any food drips, then a rub with baby oil - makes it easier to clean next time too :-D
hi, like the other post,s stainless steel i rub on baby oil, then wipe off with a paper towel comes up really clean and shiny and smells good too.
I use shiny sinks, doesnt matter how burned on or dried on food stuff is it makes it look brand new ! :-) i use it on my hob, hood, sink & oven, i love it & think its fab lol

According to Kim and Aggy, white vinegar. :)

Baby Wipes then kitchen roll.

Are these the same as microfibre cloths?
If they are I use the microfibre ones for absolutely everything! Amazing things lol :-D
My ex hubby was a welder, when we had our SS cooker he said about using baby oil on it as thats similar to a product they used at his workshop to finish the products.

Yes Pugnut, microfibre cloths are the biz aren't they?.
I would think folk with green credentials would be snapping them up.... no more products just E-cloths and water.

E cloths for me too. I use the window one on SS, great for windows and mirrors too.
