Clean Stainless Steel Kitchen Surfaces with Us! - Clean Kitchens, Happy Kitchens
Stainless steel is primarily used in kitchens. Apart from the smooth, shiny finish of the surface, stainless steel is preferred in kitchens because it is relatively easy to clean. With a little elbow grease, proper instructions, and our deep cleaning services your stainless steel kitchen appliances should look as good as new.
If you have a little DIY operation on your mind, we can help you with the following tips.
Tips to Clean Stainless Steel
Prepare a mild solution of warm water and dish detergent. Wet a microfiber towel with the cleaning mixture. Make sure the detergent of your choice has degreasing properties. Wipe the stainless steel surface and then go over with another dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
For spilled oil and food smudges, you will need to prepare a paste of baking soda mixed in warm water. Gently apply over the oil or food stain and rub along the grain of the metal. Let the paste sit for a minute, then wipe away with a wet dish cloth. Dry with a clean towel.
Bottle some distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz it onto the appliance. Get a clean microfiber towel and gently wipe along the direction of the metal’s grain to get rid of stains. If you happen upon a particularly stubborn spot, increase pressure and rub in circular motions until the stain comes off.
Some people also swear by using olive oil to prevent streaks when working with the grain. Put a tiny amount of olive oil on the stainless steel and wipe to produce a shiny, new-like finish.
You can also spray club soda on the stainless steel surface and wipe it clean with a microfiber towel. Make sure you rub the towel along the grain of the metal to prevent streaking.
Never use steel wool or brushes to clean stainless steel. The abrasive material scratches the surface, dulling its shine in the process. Avoid using chlorine-based cleaning solutions in addition to glass cleaners and furniture polish.
How Often Should One Clean Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel surfaces and appliances should be cleaned at least once every month. It also depends on how many people use the kitchen. If you have kids, you might need to clean the steel more often since kids tend to be messier.
For some, it might be difficult to dedicate an entire day, each month to cleaning. In such cases, you can space out the cleaning tasks. Store the cleaning solution and towels somewhere easily accessible and do a quick cleaning job whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
