How to Clean Stainless Steel and Keep it Looking Great Stainless steel is a beautiful material, but keeping it looking shiny and new takes a little effort. Here’s how to keep your stainless steel appliances and surfaces clean.
Clean stainless steel with a gentle touch: The best way to clean stainless steel appliances and surfaces is with warm water and mild dish soap. Take care not to use abrasive cleaners or cloths with metal fibers. These can scratch the surface of your stainless steel.
Wipe with the grain: Always wipe your stainless steel in the direction of the grain. This helps prevent streaks and scratches in the finish. Make sure you read your appliance owner’s manual before cleaning your appliances to understand any special cleaning instructions for your specific brand of appliance.
Consider using kitchen wipes: Kitchen wipes are great for quick cleaning, but they’re not meant to be used day after day on your appliances or sink. They can leave a residue behind that will cause streaks and eventually lead to corrosion of your surface if used frequently. Instead, make sure you use warm water and mild dish soap as part of a regular cleaning regime that includes using kitchen wipes once in awhile for quick touch ups.
Use glass cleaner on fingerprints: Fingerprints on stainless steel are annoying,

Stainless steel can be a challenge to maintain and clean, but with the proper care, you can keep your appliances looking like new. To remove fingerprints, wipe the stainless surface down with detergent and warm water. Dry with a soft towel. If you have hard water, add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water for an added boost of cleaning power.
When cleaning stainless steel, it is important to remember that the direction of the grain is key. Be sure to always clean in the direction of the grain, especially when wiping up a spill or streak. Going against the grain will only worsen streaks and leave you with an unsightly mess.
For tough stains that are not removed by basic cleaners, try mixing baking soda and water together to make a paste-like substance. Apply this mixture to spots and allow it to sit for several minutes before rinsing away with warm water and drying thoroughly.
To give your stainless appliances a sleek look that is also fingerprint-free, use baby or mineral oil on a soft cloth. Rubbing in small circles will give your appliance a designer finish in no time!
Cleaning your stainless steel appliances doesn’t have to be a chore. Follow these simple steps to keep your appliances looking great and working well.
After you clean your stainless steel, periodically go over it with a dry paper towel or dust cloth to prevent dust and dirt from settling on the surface and create a film.

There are several ways you can clean a stainless steel dishwasher. The simplest way is to use any cleaner that has been recommended by the manufacturer of the dishwasher. If you want to try this, you will need to do a few things before you start cleaning it.
First, you will need to empty the dishwasher of all the water that has been in it. Then, put a baking soda solution onto the inside of the dishwasher and let it sit for about five minutes. You can also put some white vinegar on a cloth and rub it on the outside of the dishwasher so that you can get rid of any grease or grime that may have built up over time.
Dishwashers:
All models:
Regular cleaning is required to prevent build-up of residue. To clean the outside of the dishwasher, use a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. To remove fingerprints or other smudges, use glass cleaner. Always wipe with the grain to avoid scratching the surface.
Stainless steel exterior front:
Wipe dry after each use with a cloth or paper towel to prevent water spots from forming on the stainless steel tubular door handles. The tubular door handles have a protective coating which can be damaged by solvents, abrasive cleaners, and sharp objects. Clean with warm water and mild soap using a nonabrasive sponge or soft cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool as they may harm the finish of the tubular door handles.
Stainless steel interior:
For regular cleaning, use a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior walls and bottom of the dishwasher. Dry completely with a soft towel after washing to prevent spotting on stainless steel surfaces. A vinegar rinse once per month will prevent buildup of minerals on stainless steel surfaces in the dishwasher.
