Polishing Stainless Steel

For 3 years I have been struggling to keep my stainless steel appliances clean. They always have drip marks and finger prints on them. Finally, I found the perfect solution and it is something almost everyone has in their home.

First clean the surface with warm soapy water and rinse. Yes, I know, you're going to see a lot of streaks. But, then spray WD-40 on a soft, lint-free cloth (I used an old t-shirt) and wipe over the stainless steel surface. Just a tiny bit will do it.

A very thin layer of WD-40 will really shine your appliances up and keep them smudge free for a long time. If finger prints or smudges do show up, just a dry soft cloth will erase them instantly. What a time saver this has been! Try it for yourself.

Olive oil! Can't believe it. Just try me on this one. It removes those disgusting water streaks in an instant! Just put a little on a paper towel or cleaning rag and wipe in the direction on the grain; no rubbing, no mess, no wiping off. You will thank me for this one!

My tip would be not to use WD40 or baby oil as you can get cross contamination and get it in you food.
It's just as cheap to buy a specialist stainless steel cleaner food safe I like the ultimate40 from http://www.stainlesssteelcleaner.co.uk">http://www.stainlesssteelcleaner.co.uk or if i am cleaning stainless steel pots and pans quickleen-s is very good from http://www.quickleen.co.uk.

I heard a fastfood company were sued over using WD40 on their stainless steel. it's for your bicycle chain
Stop taking short cuts. olive oil works out just as expensive and attracts dust. Put it on you lettuce why.
I watched the video on http://www.stainlesssteelcleaner.co.uk">http://www.stainlesssteelcleaner.co.uk and it took seconds to clean a massive stainless steel kitchens with a tiny bit of spray. Trying to save money while risking food poisoning is crazy.

Thanks for the cool tip. Do you think that WD-40 would have the same effect on a glass oven door window?
