Default Anyone with Stainless Steel appliances?

How do you keep them looking clean? Is there a secret to keeping fingerprints off of them besides not touching them? I also can't seem to get them streak free when I do wipe them down.

I love how they look in my kitchen but not when they look dirty. Help!

I have them..

I use those Wipes (the furniture polish ones--Pledge or walmart brand) then just wipe it clean with a dry cloth...afterwards you can add a THIN layer of olive oil to keep it shiny and keeps the prints from sticking. You have to repeat that once a week for awhile to make it work

I do, but I don't have an answer... I just clean them quick every night... although, I don't have streaks... I use Pledge Multi Surface cleaner and it doesn't leave streaks... plus, I love the smell it's not chemically smelling.

Ooooh I didn't even think about using the Pledge multi-surface cleaner. I have some of that so I'll have to try it. I sometimes think my girls wouldn't touch the appliances as much if they were white or black, lol!!

I just use water and a micro fiber cloth. It is a never-ending battle keeping the appliances clean. I have a love/hate relationship with them.

I use the Pledge multi surface cleaner and love it. It cleans well and smells so good.

I'll have to try the pledge multi surface. I have been using the Stainless Steel Magic spray and although is does well at getting them clean and making them shine, I can't seem to be able to get them streak free.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I just use water. But mine doesn't leave prints. I think it has a coating or something on it.

Mine are almost always a mess! I wish I would have never bought a stainless steel fridge. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to keep it looking clean. And then of course after I bought that... most of my newly purchased appliances have stainless steel on them to coordinate. I have tried the special cleaners, but have not found them to work any better than wiping with water.
