Is there a product available to prevent a stainless steel sink from
becoming stained and streaked. I seem to remember a post a while back
about olive oil? Or was it mineral oil? Any ideas or suggestions will
be much appreciated.

I know that barkeeper's friend and bon-ami both clean my stainless pots
and pans well. a wee bit of mineral oil, rubbed on and buffed with a dry
cloth, will keep it shiny after you clean it (until you fill the sink
again, at least :>)

Try vinegar. It was the best for getting the stainless steel kitchen
clean when I was cooking professionally.

after using a mix of bicarb, salt and hot water to clean my silver jewellery
last night, I wondered what else I could use the bicarb for...turns out it
does wonders for the s/s sink using a damp cloth; just remember to rinse the
sink properly, or you will be left with a fine film of bicarb when dry lol

Try a product called "Bar Keeper's Friend"

I use paste wax on the sink after cleaning it with a commercial
stainless cleaner to keep it streak and stain free.

Do you use it after you polish it?

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Daily. I only polish the sink a couple times a year. The wax makes it
easier to keep clean and keeps female fingerprints from discoloring the
SS, damned estrogen.

Hmmmm. What kind of wax is it *besides* paste? Carnauba? I wonder
if polish would work on refrigerators? I don't worry about my ss
sink, but that darned refrigerator attracts fingerprints like there's
no tomorrow.

I used to have a stainless steel fridge and my sister was renting part of my
house from me at the time. I'm not sure what she thought the handle was for on
the fridge, but obviusly it frightened and repulsed her as she was completely
unwilling to touch it and prefered to access the fridge using some ritual that
involved wiping her giant greasy hands all over it.

good god, I'm not anal about anything but that would make me apoplectic when I
saw it.

If a stainless steel sink actually stains it's probably one of those el
cheapo kind you can buy on sale at Home Depot for $19.95. However, if
your sink is becoming all discolored from a coating of crud, that smply
means you're a slob.

To clean stainless steel spray with one of the popular all purpose
cleaners, like 409, then wipe with a soft cloth (wipe in the direction
of the brushed pattern), rinse with clean water and dry with a clean
soft cloth (not paper towel). Never use any abrasive cleaner on
stainless steel.

I.e., never hire Sheldon to do it.

We use regular dishwashing soap and a sponge to clean the sink, and about
every two weeks we wipe it with baby oil (johnson & johnson type) with
the grain of the steel. We also use the baby oil on the fridge, oven and
microwave door.

Wow, your entire kitchen has diaper rash... I think zinc ointment is
better.
