Barkeepers Friend cleans the stainless in every restaurant around. Always rub with the grain.

I have that & just do scared of making a mistake. As I said very expensive hood! Thanks

You're going to need to get used to cleaning and polishing it pretty vigorously. It’s the only way to keep the brass from tarnishing.

Thanks

If it's greasy fingerprints (and/or manufacturing oils), try something like stinky old Pine Sol. It won't hurt anything.

I also have a brushed stainless steel range hood. I clean it with warm dishsoap and water using a microfiber cloth. For stubborn greasy thumbprints, I use a plastic coated sponge and rub lightly. Your hood is lovely!

Thanks exactly what I did.

Nancy: your hood is lovely. Please post some pictures of your kitchen!

With stainless appliances, you can't just clean one section, you have to clean the whole thing at once and in the same direction of the "grain", so you don't end up with streaks or marks.

These are pics of my old kitchen which was quite nice, French country in sage green which ironically the in color for 2022.

The last pics are my finished reno. We took a wall out going into great room to open up space. Love it! A little hard to tell in pics I did the island in hale navy & the glass cabinets I also did the navy there also.

If the vendor can just figure out how to clean my hoid correctly ill be a happy camper! lol

Why can't it be cleaned like any other stainless steel product? Weiman stainless steel wipes?

I'm being told by the company because it is raw brushed stainless that it could be a problem

Isn't brushed stainless just stainless that has been given a duller texture? I have a brushed stainless sink and treat it no different than my other stainless sink.

Good question. It seems ridiculous having to go through this, but obviously I didn't want to do anything that was going to make worse. The company I purchased from just sent me a video that artisan sent them & it clearly shows they have used simple full strength dish washing soap, scrubbed pretty hard then took cloth & wiped off & marks gone, so I guess this is the next step. I feel like I shouldn't have to be doing this that the company should supply somebody to do this for me.

Especially since it is ”a very expensive hood.”

Yes for sure. The company i bought from sent me a video from the artisan that made it, & showed dark stains & prints & they used full strength dish soap then really scrubbed & dried so that’s what I’ll try next.
