If you have stainless steel-appliances in your kitchen, odds are you have a fingerprint problem too. No matter how you polish and try to avoid marking up that fridge and stove, those smudgy little marks are inevitable, especially if there's kids around. But there are a few quick and inexpensive tips to rid your cooking area of that unsightly grime.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A mild mixture of soap and water
  • Some furniture polish (the pre-moistened wipes work great)
  • A little bit of olive oil

Step1
Wash the affected area with a soapy solution to disinfect and remove any dirt.
Step2
Instead of buying those pricey foams and sprays to keep your appliances looking brand new, erase those smudges with furniture polish. The pre-moistened wipes are your best bet. Just wipe away fingerprints with a little bit of Pledge. The surface usually stays clean for about a week.
Step3
After you've wiped down surfaces with the polish, try applying a little bit of olive oil with a clean cloth. This adds a nice sheen and actually prevents fingerprints from sticking to the surface.
