Cleaning Textured Appliances

I have a white textured fridge that is supposed to hide the dirt. Instead it shows every grease spot and hand print. Any suggestions of how to clean? I have tried so many things that don't really work.

What a rip! Thanks for the warning about these things. Our fridge has a textured door handle, of all things. It's constantly needing cleaning. I just use bleach water, but what a sneaky design tactic!

IF YOU HAVE IT THERE TRY A PRODUCT CALLED
"TSP" IT COMES IN A CONTAINER THAT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL MILK CARTON AND IS AVAILABLE AT MOST HARDWARE STORES.

WORKS ON ANYTHING, GREAT FOR WALLS.

I USE IT TO CLEAN THE TOPS OF MY COOLERS.
THEY GET SO DIRTY WHEN WE GO CAMPING. THE TSP MAKES THEM SPARKLING WHITE AGAIN.

I use a microfiber cloth with plainwater for fresh spills, or dishsoap, and with Murphy's oil or Mr.clean for nasty build up...but only on the outside! For hinges and hard to reach, I keep an old toothbrush with my cleaning supplies and dip it in cleaner.

On mine I use a small brush.. swish it around in hot soapy sink
water (using dawn dish soap) lightly brush around on the fridge...
VIOLA! Clean as a whistle. Wipe dry.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser. The sponge will clean in the grooves better than anything. This is a job that I let my 5 year old son help with when I am cleaning. They always want to help. There is not chemicals to spray just wet the sponge and wipe.

you could try plain ordinary toothpaste. Own brands are good, just try it on an inconspicuous area first. I use it on the inside of fridges with good effect. Don't know what a textured fridge would be though.
