Hi everyone. We have just finished installing a new kitchen and everything looks lovely and new and shiny apart from our stainless steel toaster and kettle, they look shocking! Does anyone out there have a secret recipe for cleaning dull stainless steel appliances? I'm sure there is some magic poition involving white vineager or the likes. Please help! TIA.Claire :)

baby wipes are supposed to work well.

Thank you jills3, I'm off to the supermarket (in the pouring rain!!) to buy some 3M stainless steel cleaner so baby wipes will go on the list too.

I find Chemico paste a must have product in the house as it can be used on so many surfaces.I use it on my sink and it comes up great and also the sole of my iron (not non-stick obviously).Also it is cheap!

Me too. It is also great for cleaning ceramic stoves tops. It does as good a job as the much more expensive ceramic cleaner. It doesn't scratch either but leaves it looking clean and shiny.

No 3M cleaner to be found at the supermarket and the weather means I won't be tripping around Timaru searching for any. White vinegar and baby wipe combination seems to be doing the job. Thank you for your suggestions.:)

ha ha! i don't use the hot tap for shaving either, always boil the jug and pour it into the bathroom sink.

i read that just plain white vinager in a spray bottle, wiped off with a soft cloth works..

Baby oil brings up your SS appliances like new! Have seen it being used in Hotel kitchens... really works!

I agree with you.. at a motel a few years ago, the stainless steel shower base was very shiny, I found one of the cleaning ladies and asked her what they use.. Polaris Stainless Steel Reviver.. she said they were often asked about what they use.
Highly recommended for anything stainless steel..

I still highly recommend baby oil.A little bit on a facecloth, wiped across the 'grain' of the SS appliance. try it, you'll be amazed. I use chemico too, for a lot of cleaning, but not on my SS appliances. the sink is fine though!
