The Only Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner You’ll Ever Need

The Only Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner You'll Ever Need - Put a little olive oil on a piece of soft paper toweling (I use Viva brand) and start rubbing it into the stainless. In no time at all you’ll begin to see the difference.
This post includes affiliate links. Please see my disclosure.Today we’re getting the house ready for winter. That means lots of organization and packing up outside and lots of deep cleaning inside. I wanted to share a cleaning tip today many people don’t know about.

If you have stainless steel appliances, you’ve undoubtedly struggled with keeping them fingerprint and streak-free. You may have also forked out tons of money on products that claim to clean stainless only to be left with more streaks than you started with. This happens to me with windows and mirrors too. Sometimes I go through about a stack of newspapers or paper toweling and a ton of cleaner before I’m really happy with the end product. Talk about frustrating.

I know you didn’t necessarily click through to this post to listen to me rant so I’ll quickly get to the point. The secret to spotless stainless steel appliances is right in your kitchen. May I introduce you to my bottle of olive oil. This, my friends, is the answer to your stainless steel cleaning prayers.

Take a look at the BEFORE photo of my oven below. If you look closely, you can see all the fingerprints and streaks. Ick. And if you have children with sticky hands or pets with wet noses, you know what I’m talking about.

    I’ve not tried the olive oil trick, but I think I would use mineral oil if I did. I have had good luck with baking soda on my stainless appliances. It cleans without scratching and takes off tape residue after I had grandkids’ art work taped to the refrigerator☺️

      I use baby oil myself, just the teeniest amount rubbed on…I do notice that over time pet hair from my five cats will start to stick to it a little, then it’s time to redo it. Always trying to keep on top of those “kitty tumbleweeds” that like to gather in corners. LOL.

    Commercial Cleaners are toxic and can cause Cancer, etc. My daughter got Cancer after super cleaning my son’s house when he got Ill. Her sister helped her and also got Cancer. My son and his sister died a year apart, but the clean freak caught hers in time and is now a Happy Grand Mother. It’s what we EAT, DRINK and Breathe that makes us sick!!!!! Just use Natural Cleaners… They WORK!!!!!

    Someone told me to use Bar Keepers Friend on my stainless steel appliances, but that ruined the appearance to the point where I’ve tried every tip I’ve seen on Pinterest including this one, to get rid of the smears/streaks that was left after I used the Bar Keepers Friend, and nothing can return my appliances back to their shiny, streak free
    look. HELP SOMEONE!!!

      I was cleaning SS appliances in a home I had not yet moved into. All I had was Murphy’s Oil Soap. I followed container directions and made sure I rinsed and dried all the surfaces. The results were amazing. I have always used Baking Soda in my SS sink making sure to rinse cold and wipe dry.

    Olive oil leaves an oily residue creating more smears when touched…..best method I’ve ever used is lemon furniture polish, by far!!

    Mine gets covered in cat hair..will this help??

      Unfortunately, the oil may actually attract the hair vs. repel it. I have a golden retriever and I’ve never had a problem with her hair on the appliances. I would make sure all of the cat hair is brushed off of the surface of the appliance before applying the oil. You could try it and see what happens! Please report back!
