"   Stainless steel appliances look beautiful in the showroom but that attractive shine disappears soon after they&amp;#039;re installed in your kitchen. And fingerprints, jelly drips, and mayonnaise smears can be tricky to remove from stainless steel. While traditional cleaners get off the gunk, they leave behind noticeable streaks of their own. To find out how you can get your fridge, range, and dishwasher looking as spiffy as the day they were delivered, we rolled up our sleeves and put 30 stainless steel cleaners (yes, there&amp;#039;s that many out there) to the test. Each cleaner was tested to see how well it actually removed a thin greasy dirt layer from a stainless steel refrigerator as well as if it left a greasy film behind, added shine to the surface, and resisted fingerprints. Here&amp;#039;s what we learned. Since most stainless steel appliances have a brushed finish, it&amp;#039;s best to clean the appliance in the direction of the grain. Always use a soft lint-free cloth to clean and buff the stainless surface. A harsher cloth can leave behind fine scratches. If you choose an aerosol stainless steel cleaner, be mindful of the &amp;quot;over spray&amp;quot;. If the product lands on the kitchen floor, the floor can become slippery. Go easy on the cleaner. Using too much stainless steel cleaner can actually cause a film to build up on the surface. A weekly application should be adequate, but wipe spills immediately with a damp microfiber cloth. So, which stainless steel cleaners shined the brightest in our test? Here&amp;#039;s the dirt on the best stainless steel cleaners. If you&amp;#039;d like to upgrade your kitchen appliances to stainless steel (now that you know how to maintain it), see our reviews of stainless steel refrigerators and stainless steel dishwashers, and ranges.
