How to Clean & Polish Stainless Appliances

Keep your kitchen appliances clean.

Stainless steel appliances are found in many homes, providing an elegant yet subtle addition to the kitchen area. Stainless steel is used to create everything from refrigerators to toasters, and is durable and fairly easy to clean. Rather than buying expensive stainless cleaners, use inexpensive household items that kills bacteria and brings out the appliance's natural shine. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

• White vinegar
• Baby oil
• Cleaning rags

Instructions

1. Soak a cleaning rag with white vinegar, squeeze it out and wipe over the stainless steel. The vinegar kills bacteria as it cleans the surface and removes residue. This works especially well to remove greasy food residue. Let the surface air dry.

2. Drizzle baby oil over a new cleaning rag. Rub a thin layer of the oil all over the appliance, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel.

3. Let the oil sit overnight, and buff it off with a dry cleaning rag the next morning. Polish using small circular motions while wiping off the excess.
