How I Shine My Stainless Appliances
I’ve been asked a few times recently about how I shine my stainless appliances, and my short answer is: I baby them!
With a family of six and lots of guests around many times, I don’t mean we don’t use it. It definitely gets its share of fingerprints and grime.
But, I baby my stainless by grabbing the go-to secret weapons I always have on hand to get it shining again. First, are basic baby wipes. We use these all the time for cleaning all kinds of things. No specific brand needed, I usually buy whatever is cheapest at the time.
We use these to remove the dirt and fingerprints. And, since there are no harsh chemicals involved, it’s a great job for kids, too.
The last step is to buff out the streaks with a little baby oil. I pour just a little bit on a soft cloth and rub it on the appliance in a circular motion. Then, with the dry part of the cloth, buff it out.
I think the baby oil even seems to prevent fingerprints from appearing for a while after. So, if you want your stainless appliances sparking clean, baby those babies!
What’s your secret weapon for shining appliances?

Wow!!! I'm going to try this. My mother has always complained about the streaks on the "new style" fridges. Can't wait to tell her!

I totally have to try this. I buy the ( overly expensive), stainless steel wipes, I think I pay $8 for 25 wipes, and I need at least 2 to wipe down the fridge alone.. so my fridge gets done when people are coming over, I am thrilled to get this!
