How to clean stainless steel without streaks
By Rosa Herrera · · 2 min read
Streaky stainless is almost always one of two things: too much product, or wiping in circles.
- Use warm water and a drop of dish soap on a microfiber cloth.
- Wipe in the direction of the grain, top to bottom.
- Dry right away with a second, clean microfiber cloth.
- For fingerprints, a tiny bit of mineral oil buffed in afterward helps them wipe off next time.
Skip paper towels, which leave lint, and anything with ammonia, which can dull the finish.
