Cleaning stainless steel appliances
 

I could have saved a few hundred $ by choosing bisque white appliances
over stainless steel but NOOOO! I had to get the fancy ones. The
fingerprints come off easily enough but how do you get rid of the
streaks? The pop-up sheets and the cream SS cleaner don't really do it.

I use Lemon Oil Furniture polish. One wipe and it looks great!

Do you keep a fire extinguisher handy?

Am I the only person in the world that doesn't give a darn about how my
stainless steel looks? Guess so.

Hmmm -- what streaks? After cleaning, do you wipe dry with a dishtowel? I do,
and I've never seen any streaks.

One thing that might do it: stainless steel has "grain", and you should always
wipe it dry _with_ the grain. Not doing so might be the cause of your streaks.

Yes, of course I'm wiping with the grain. The grin is vertical. The
vertical wipe lines are uneven in their reflectance luminance, I dunno?
Maybe Dee Dee has the right idea.
