Hi Joan, Got your e-mail. I'm leaving soon so I will reply later and I'll send a couple pictures.

I have no problem with spills. If I'm frying, I put towels down. We have the closed gas whereas we just put a 30" wolf gas in our other kitchen and I hate cleaning that one. This multi purpose gas is so easy to clean. I also have a 45" downdraft and the stainless is no problem. I love the microfiber clothes - just wipe with a damp one. The only problem I find is that everything gets dusty - granity is shinny so the dust really shows when the sun is out, and that has nothing to do with the appliances. So, I have lots of microfiber clothes around. To clean the induction (even with grease) I just wipe it with a soapy cloth and wipe it down with a dry cloth. If something is really bad (which has only happened when my son and his friends cook with both the induction and gas) I used baking soda or the liquid cooktop cleaner.

And I love my steamer. We all are going to a Wolf dinner tomorrow night with one of their chefs. Any questions for them???
