How to Remove Water Marks From Stainless Steel Appliances

Remove water marks from stainless steel appliances with vinegar.

Stainless steel appliances are like any other household surface: when water with a high mineral content splashes onto them and dries, you're left with unattractive hazy spots and film that must be removed. Otherwise, it looks as if your kitchen area has not been cared for properly, even if you clean it regularly.

Things You'll Need

• White vinegar
• Water
• Cleaning rags

Instructions

1. Soak the edge of a cleaning rag with white vinegar.

2. Wipe the soaked edge of the rag over the stainless steel surfaces, and repeat until all water marks are removed.

3. Rinse out the cleaning rag and wring out. Wipe over the appliances once more to remove the vinegar residue.

4. Wipe a clean, dry rag over the steel to dry the surface and prevent streaks or fresh water stains.
