Anyone have an awesome treatment for stainless steel appliances to avoid or cut down on finger marks.
Polish it with an oil. We use olive oil or this:
I think I’ve tried every cleaner and polish made and I don’t like any of them. They leave a film or residue that just makes it look worse and harder to maintain. I use magic eraser with nothing but water or water and vinegar and then I polish dry with a special microfiber cloth for stainless steel. It’s made by Quickie. Periodically I clean with a soapy solution to remove the greasy film (like on the range hood).
It’s rare for me to disagree with Allison but I would never use an oil. Maybe it’s all the dust and dog hair here but that would just make a mess.
I have basically one cleaner I make up, it works for stainless, granite, windows and everything in between. Here is my secret recipe:
About 2 or 3 OZ rubbing alcohol in a 32 oz bottle, top with tap water. Two or 3 drops of Dawn dishwashing soap.

Interesting. I was going to post that I’ve found the smudges that don’t come off with mild soap-and-water seem to always come off with rubbing alcohol. I didn’t think of combining them.

I hate stainless steel appliances. Our apartment #2 has a ss fridge, cooker, microwave & dishwasher all inherited from the previous owner and I hate hate hate them. I use Windex.
I learned a good trick. SHAVING CREAM! Smear a lather of the plainest you can find, leave a couple minutes, rub/buff oFF.

ScotchBrite stainless steel cleaner is my current favorite. It’s a spray-on wax. It doesn’t leave an oily residue.
