Cleaning a stainless steel appliance must be done in a cautious manner. Many stainless steel appliances are factory "clear-coated" with a lacquer varnish that must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's specific instructions. Removing fingerprints, spills and other messes from uncoated stainless steel appliances is a simple procedure, as long as all precaution is taken after reading the stainless steel appliance owner's manual.
Instructions
1. Rub down the entire stainless steel area to be cleaned with a damp cloth of warm soapy water.
2. Repeat this process using rubbing alcohol or vinegar with a soft cloth.
3. Apply a small amount of commercial stainless steel cleaner with a damp, soft cloth. Rub in the direction of the "grain" lines on the stainless steel appliance's finish.
4. Remove hard or stubborn stains, grease or baked-on foods with a nylon scouring pad and a hot, caustic soda solution. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions to prevent scratching surface.
5. Rinse entire surface of the appliance with warm water.
6. Apply a small amount of baby oil to a paper towel and rub down the entire surface of the stainless steel appliance.
