As almost every homeowner or renter knows, stainless steel is not immune to gathering stains. Fingerprints and hard water spots are some of the most common cleaning complaints about stainless steel appliances. There is a way to remove these fingerprints, water spots and even rust spots from stainless steel appliances using only common household materials you probably already have on hand. The bad news is that the appliances are soiled almost as quickly as they are cleaned, so you will be fighting a never-ending battle.
Instructions
1. Dampen a cotton ball with acetone and wipe at the spots on your stainless steel appliances. This will remove most fingerprints and hard water spots.
2. Use a sponge or rag to scrub at the spot with acetone if it doesn't come off right away.
3. Scrub at the spots on your stainless steel appliances with a no-scratch scrub pad. This is often the only way to remove rust spots or other caked on material.
4. Polish your stainless steel appliances with a commercial stainless steel cleaner, available in the home cleaning products aisle of your local supermarket.
5. Refresh your stainless steel's original shine by dabbing some vegetable oil on a clean cloth--paper towels will do in a pinch--and wiping it on to the stainless steel surface you want to polish.
