That's about what I paid and am still wondering if there's a better stainless cleaner out there than paying $7 per bottle.....anyone? Glen, have you used this product before? Still interested in hearing if anyone else thinks it works.....

This post needs a bump! I'm struggling with my frig. My range is from the same manufacturer and cleans up beautifully with any of the wipes I've tried but the frig.....ugh. It's really going to drive me nuts. I already regret not getting cabinet panels. I haven't even moved into the kitchen yet, I'm just trying things out, getting my arsenal of products picked out.

Another GW swears by a microfiber cloth and hot water for her SS. I don't have hot water yet so I haven't tried it.

I found that Extra Moisturizing brown Pledge works the best on stainless. It is the only non green cleaner I still use because it works so well.

Yes to Pledge or similar furniture polish. It cleans and doesn't leave streaks. I also think it helps against finger/hand marks.

Just use plain old undiluted vinegar!
Fill a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar. Then, spray on all of your stainless steel surfaces, and wipe dry with a soft cleaning cloth. Simple and effective!
Why This Works:

The acetic acid in the vinegar cuts through the oil left behind by fingertips, rather than smearing it around like a lot of other cleaners.
Benefits of Cleaning with Vinegar:

* inexpensive
* no harsh chemicals
* effective sanitizer
* effective grease cutter
* non-abrasive

I've been using a solution of 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water that I discovered after someone wrote about it on this forum.

I use it on everything...my stainless appliances, my black laminate counters in my office, my computers and my glass doors.

I spray just a little on the appliance or on the cloth and wipe away. It's great because the alcohol actually evaporates away. I use a microfiber cloth.

I use Weiman "Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish" in the silver can...you can get it at the grocery store. Just spray & wipe and you're done! No fuss, no muss! No "3-step process" needed. Oh, and the Weiman seems to repel future fingerprints for a week or two. If you have really messy hands, yes, you will "mark" the SS...but ditto for white & black appliances! I find that my refrigerator only needs wiping down once every week or two. Handles, yes, they need it more often, depending on how messy the cooks' hands were when opening the refrigerator!

I've also used Pledge in the brown can and it works just as well as the Weiman.

I keep meaning to try the 50/50 alcohol/water on my granite...I should try it on my SS & black appliances as well to see how it works....

(The most difficult color I've found to keep clean is black, followed by white, and the easiest...SS. SS shows the least even when it does need cleaning. YMMV)

I have never tried WOW but I have tried just about everything else.

My favorite is Stainless Steel Magic. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's.

It cleans well, wipes off easily without streaking and doesn't leave a greasy film. It also help resist fingerprints and water spotting. It works great to keep the sink looking nice.

I've tried many things, too (except the WOW), and accidentally discovered that Lysol wipes work WONDERS. Dried with microfiber cloths (got a pack of 24 at Home Depot).

There are different scents, so they don't actually smell like Lysol. I think scent is the problem I had with most of the stainless cleaners. Yucky smell. The wipes have a nice clean smell.

Plus they are readily available at the grocery store and kill germs, too!

I tried Pledge wipes this afternoon, they did the job without streaking! My refrigerator looked so good, I took pictures of it afterward, lol.

Love these suggestions. Did a search on stainless steel cleaners here on GW and found many suggestions too. I like some of the more "natural" cleaners, since I have been trying my best to stay away from disposable wipes, aerosals and anything that seemed slightly toxic for the kitchen. I have found that the stainless on my appliances varies considerably--my refridge is easier to clean than the compactor and the dishwasher is the worst. Also, the oven front since it deals with more grease is the one that the alcohol mixture seems like a good solution for. I am going to have 5 cleaners just for my kitchen!!

I get a bit weird about smells too Julie. Some of the counter sprays are not my style. Either too perfumish for me or too antiseptic. My DH says I am sensitive about smells so I gather that it's only me. I like anything lemony so Pledge might work (it also reminds me of when I was kid and I helped dust), but only if it's something I can buy in bulk and can put in my own spray bottle.

Rookie--post some pics :) You know how we all love a good pic!
